    Comes out perfect every time. Sometimes it needs to cook longer than the recipe says.

    This sauce is incredible! In the dish, the tomatos are really pronounced, but don't mask the garlic or even the basil. And at first I was hesitant about the red pepper (because it so easily overpowers but i could barely detect it when the sauce was finished. Overall, the best part about making this sauce was knowing that I had some leftover :

    P.S. add some portobello mushrooms and freshly grated parmesan cheese.

    Best marinara sauce I have ever made!!! very simple and easy to make. Doesn't require special ingredients i have to buy just for this recipe; i can make it with what's in my pantry. This is now my favorite marinara recipe and the only one I will make from now on.

    Being my first attempt at a home-made marinara sauce, I found this recipe to be simple, easy and satisfying. Both my husband and I really enjoyed it and will definately make again. I would recommend not adding a cup of water to the sauce as it was very runny, even after simmering for about 30 minutes. The sauce did thicken as it stood, however, so maybe next time I will just try a reduced amount and see what happens.

    I did add about 1-2 Tablespoons of kosher salt for 'seasoning' . You really could add whatever ingredients you wish to really doctor this sauce up.

    Really good!

    Excellent recipe, but don't mistake it for a hearty pasta sauce. It's great as a fresh alternative to heavy meat sauces.

    Great recipe. So fresh and delicious. I will agree with the reviews though, you can cut down on the added water and it will benefit the recipe. I tossed in some shrimp and was quite content.

    This sauce was great! Just for next time i probably wouldnt add the water because it made the sauce kind of soupy.

    I saw this recipe in the latest Food Network Magazine and it looked lite and simple so I gave it a try. My wife and kids are very picky eaters so I thought this would be a one time fix; but to my surprise they loved it! The next morning I saw my kids with the magazine open to the page with the recipe and they were coming up with all sorts of new variations of our new found sauce. Now they all want this sauce for there Birthday Dinners! Thanks Food Network!
