Made this tonight to go along with Giada's Mushroom Parmesan recipe and it was delicious and easy. I did add about a teaspoon of sugar because the tomatoes I used were very acidic and needed balance. I agree with an earlier comment - I will not buy marinara in a jar again - not when you have a recipe as delicious and easy as this!!

I actually doubled the recipe and used it as a pizza sauce. I decided to leave out the celery and carrotts, and my family loved it. I also made the pizza dough myself, the house was filled with smells from and Italian kitchen!

It's so easy, so tasty, it is just the best! I quadruple the recipe, adding extra onions, garlic and carrots. Freezes very well. Sometimes I add finely ground, cooked & drained-ground round. I also add finely shredded fresh red pepper and if they sauce is too thick, I added premium beef stock from a carton.

In the last big batch I added finely chopped fresh basil and oregano, YUM!
The best compliment-my husband tells me that this sauce is better than his ITALIAN family secret recipe.

It is an awful lot like my mom;s "quick" sauce. But you should try putting a whole carrot in (toss out when finished try a shot of vermouth while you are sauteing, add teaspoon of sugar,add the 5 basil leaves during cooking and its mommas sauce(oops forgot, no__ never__ add celerycup or two of water depending how you like it. Giada has some great recipes,our moms must have trained together

This is a great marinara sauce. I add more carrots for extra sweetness. Double or triple the recipe--freezes perfectly.

One of my favorite marinara sauces. Delicious and easy to create. Add ground beef and Italian Sausage for a terrific meat sauce!!!

I have always been a fan of not using premade sauces and canned items, so this is how I discovered this recipe. It is easy and fantastic! Quick to prepare! You easily can double or triple the recipe, and add additional items such as oregano, basil, etc., either fresh or dried! I also added granulated garlic and onion, in addition to the fresh. I used Italian tomatoes with basil. I used purple onion and used the celery leaves as well, for a bit of a chunky sauce. I am looking forward to this being my go-to recipe when my garden is producing all the fresh produce this summer, etc. This really is a great basic sauce and can be made your own by adding things you like. I am looking forward to using this sauce is the tomato soup recipe from the pantry show!

The versatile recipe provides an excellent base and, as with all recipes, needs to be individualized to meet the needs and taste of each cook. Beyond adding herbs, I sometimes brown a mild Italian sausage removed from casing with sliced mushrooms and then quickly run the mixture through blender to get a rough chop. Adding this to the sauce creates a richer, thicker and more flavorful texture without apparent chunks of meat. I then use it for everything from pizza toppings, vegetable casseroles, vegetable soups as well as pasta dishes.
