• marinara sauce recipe
• homemade pasta sauce
• Rao's marinara copycat
• canned tomatoes
• sauce variations

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/2 yellow onion
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 tbsp fresh basil
• shallots
• pork fat
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• San Marzano tomatoes
• parmesan

What it concludes

• Pre-made marinara sauce is one of the most foul things in the modern mega-mart, but Rao's Marinara ranks number one in taste tests and costs about 10 dollars for a quart.
• Using pre-crushed canned tomatoes prevents you from having to pick out hard stems and dealing with squirting juice, making it an easy alternative to whole tomatoes.
• Adding a pinch of sugar and a wedge of parmesan cheese provides salt and umami glutamates to enhance the sauce.
• This homemade marinara is on equal footing with the best jarred marinara from the supermarket while being much cheaper when made in larger batches.
