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.

EASY RED PASTA SAUCE



Easy Red Pasta Sauce image

Plain, simple, no frills, basic red sauce that tastes great on a variety of pasta and is not watered down. For making a good sauce, use canned tomatoes. Except for the summer months, the 'fresh' tomatoes are usually harvested when green and left a long time to ripen. Add more red pepper flakes if you like your sauce spicy!

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
¼ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons dried parsley

1 (29 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
12 ounces angel hair pasta

  • Add basil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced slightly and tastes rich, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.

  • Lemon Garlic Sauce. This lemon, garlic, and creamy sauce might be your new favorite way to have chicken. The flavor is incredible and it’s easy to make.
  • Ginger Scallion Sauce. This sauce is a traditional Chinese recipe. It’s simple and you’ll only need a few ingredients. I think the real flavor kicker here is the ginger.
  • White Wine, Mushroom, and Caper Sauce. This French-inspired sauce is absolutely lovely. It’s rich, creamy, and full of delicious flavor. You’ll need to make a (sort of) beurre blanc for this recipe.
  • White Wine Sauce. This is called white wine sauce but the true star is the 40 cloves of garlic. Yes, it sounds like a lot, but it is absolutely fantastic.
  • Homemade Alfredo Sauce. This is a classic Alfredo sauce that’s full of Parmesan cheese and wonderful flavor. I love how rich and creamy this homemade Alfredo sauce is.
