Photo: Basic Tomato Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- Two 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Directions
Add the tomatoes to a blender and puree until smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Stir in the basil the last minute of cooking.

This will now be my go to marinara/tomato sauce. It was so easy and tastes great. My family really likes the tartness. Most of these sauces are too sweet. I will use this over and over again for all kinds of things that use a tomato sauce base. I can't wait for my tomatoes to come in this summer so I can can some to use all next winter.

OMG, this is fantastic and so easy! Chopping the onions was the hardest part! I've never gone wrong with Paula Deen's recipes and this one is no exception. Yum!!!!
