COOKING LIGHT'S BASIC MARINARA SAUCE



Cooking Light's Basic Marinara Sauce image

This sauce consists mostly of pantry staples. Keep canned crushed tomatoes on hand, and you can prepare a batch of sauce any time. For the best taste, look for chunky tomatoes without added herbs or spices. Buy low-sodium or no-salt-added tomatoes so the finished sauce tastes more of tomatoes than salt. Cento and Eden Organic brands are recommened. Because marinara is a long-simmered sauce, dried herbs are best. They soften and maintain more flavor during the long cook time. Crumble them in your palm to release more of their tasty essential oils. The slow heat will compromise the delicate, fruity flavor of expensive extra virgin olive oil. Regular olive oil will work nicely in the marinara. Rely on a large Dutch oven or stockpot because this recipe makes enough sauce for several meals. Cook at a low simmer - just a few bubbles every few seconds will yield the deepest taste. October 2007

EASY LIGHT AND LOVELY MARINARA SAUCE



Easy Light and Lovely Marinara Sauce image

This is my favorite Marinara to use on any pasta. Fast and flavorful and refined. Hope you like it too. Try it on top of my ravioli recipe, Recipe #rz.278638, or any of the fresh pastas! The yield really depends on how much water you add and how long you cook it down for. You can cut back on the oil or increase it. This sauce is very forgiving so make it your own and add what you like. If you add oregano you should cook it a little longer so the herb has a chance to flavor the sauce. Me? I like it very, very simple,

Time 25m

Yield 5 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup olive oil
4 -6 garlic cloves, smashed
28 ounces tomatoes in puree (Cento Imported plum tomatoes or any Poma D'oro in puree, these cans used to be 35 ounces!)
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 cup water (up to, depending on how long you cook it and how thick you like it)
salt and pepper
basil leaves (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a skillet, warm the olive oil on medium low and toss in the garlic. Saute the garlic until it is very fragrant and golden in color. Remove the garlic and discard or save for another use.
  • Pour the liquid from the tomato can into the skillet but be careful of splattering. Stick your hand into the can and squeeze the tomatoes, discard any stem ends that are hard. Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and heat through while you cook your pasta. Cook it down until it is the desired consistency. I don't like chunky thick pasta sauces so I cook mine down and even use my immersible blender to smooth it out. Cook it until it reaches a good consistency for what you are using it for.
  • My mother always said that the sauce is ready when it doesn't foam any longer. It should only take 20 minutes to make, if that.
  • Taste for seasoning, sauce your pasta and top with basil leaves.

BASIC MARINARA SAUCE



Basic Marinara Sauce image

This is a light version of my Sunday gravy (can't give up the family recipe, top secret). Though this version is much faster than the 3-4 hours most Sunday gravies take. I NEVER measure herbs for gravy but this is about right for the amount of tomatoes used here. Hope you enjoy!
