I made a couple of changes because I didn't have bay leaf on hand. I didn't have any basil either, which would have been my first alternate, so I tossed in about a tablespoon of herbs de province. Also a splash of red wine. Extra garlic, too. I was delighted with the flavor. Very different, and the hint of fennel from the HdP was a nice touch! Most importantly, my family loved it! (Served with gnocchi and turkey meatballs. Amazing!

Great Marinara recipe, Easy to prepare, I don't know why people by sauce in a jar or can. I leave out the celery, and add extra carrot for a little more sweetness.

Simple, but perfect. I actually leave out the carrots and celery, and punch it up with extra garlic, and a just a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Very good. I have seen a lot of people make their marinara sauce with sugar. That is not my thing. I think this recipe is splendid!

Wonderful depth of flavor. I softened the mirapoix until it was almost mush - it thickened the tomatoes almost instantly, but kept all on low for an hour to meld everything. Best to keep to only 1 bay leaf - even if they are small, like mine are - so as not to overwhelm. I could see adding all kinds of other ingredients to this to get the flavor you are looking for.

This is a good base marinara sauce, but it was bland. I added red pepper flakes, crushed basil & thyme, extra salt, and 4 cloves of garlic instead of only one. I did use San Marzano tomatoes. I did not have any celery, so that was omitted. I also added chicken broth to give it more depth in flavor .. I guess you could say I made this my own marinara .. it was delicious.

Definitely easy. VERY bland. I added: parsley, basil, Italian seasoning, a little honey, a little white wine vinegar, a sprinkling of sugar........all to try and give it a little "life." I also added ground beef/Italian sausage mixture, which was pretty yummy!
Also, after the cooking time, I ran the sauce through the food processor to smooth it out.
I'll try it again, but, shouldn't it get 5 stars if it's awesome just the way it's written??

I loved this sauce! I used it to cook down all the tomatoes from the garden. For not having all the usual herbs and spices found in Italian cooking, I found this recipe had a ton of flavor. The tomato itself was obviously the star, and the carrots and celery give it a nice sweetness. Everyone in my family, including all 3 of my children, cleaned their plates tonight. Thanks Giada!
