This is a basic, but excellent recipe for a marinara sauce. I used it in eggplant parmesan and it was fabulous.
I added 1 tablespoon of sugar instead of 1/2 teaspoon because it was too sour/acidy, and then I blended it. After that, it was PERFECT!

This tastes like stewed tomatoes. Followed the recipe to a T. Not marinara sauce.
