    Very good. Mine turned out a little runnier than I would have liked. May want to add some tomato paste if you prefer a thicker sauce.

    I also added 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. sugar

    What to do with all those extra garden tomatoes? Use them in here. Also, boy is it hot by the time those tomatoes are ready huh? Saute the garlic onions and herbs then pour it into a slowcooker and deglaze the pan with a splash stock, white or red wine, V-8 juice or even water. This will keep your kitchen cool and save a little bit on that all mighty power bill.

    This is my go-to marinara sauce. I use San Marzano tomatoes from Italy (not the brand name San Marzano in a white can - that's not a true SM tomato. It freezes really well and we use it on everything from spaghetti to eggplant parmesan.
