Marinara Sauce

This is the easiest and tastiest Marinara Sauce ever. I use for any recipe that requires a simple and Italian flavor sauce like Chicken Parm or Lasagna.

Ingredients 

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed (crush these in a garlic press tool - this is the best way to get all the flavor out of them)

• 28 oz can crushed tomatoes (San Marzano preferred)

• 1 Tablespoon fresh basil (or 1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil)

• 1 Tablespoon fresh oregano (or 1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)

• 1 Tablespoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  

Procedure

• Heat sauce pan to medium heat.

• Add olive oil and crushed garlic. Cook for about 1-2 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.

• Pour in the crushed tomato, basil, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper.

• Bring to a low simmer, cover, stir occasionally and let cook for 10 minutes and it's done. Adjust salt and pepper to taste as desired.
