Classic Marinara Sauce - Tasty & Easy Italian Sauce! | Club Foody

If there’s an Italian sauce that I love to make in large quantities because of its simplicity and versatility in other recipes, it has to be my Marinara Sauce! This sauce is so tasty, easy to make plus it’s one of my go-to sauce recipes and here’s why…

Besides pasta and pizza, I love using this sauce for other recipes such as a dipping sauce for calzone and mozzarella sticks, with chicken afritada, meatballs, shakshuka and many more… It also freezes very well therefore I can make a big batch of it.

The reason I think my Classic Marinara Sauce is the best is because of the ingredients. Like any recipe, if you are using good quality ingredients, your chances of ending up with a lovely dish are pretty good. Here I’m using San Marzano tomatoes when making my Classic Marinara Sauce because of their quality. I purchase the peeled ones and crush them with my clean hands… it’s that simple!

Now if you want to use fresh tomatoes from your farmers market instead, they should be blanched first. If you are not familiar with this cooking technique, I have a tutorial video on it so just click on this link… Blanching Tomatoes for Cooking & Canning – How to

Another thing that I do with my sauce is to add a sprig of rosemary and oregano. It gives the sauce such a beautiful taste. When the cooking time is over, I simply remove them. I also use an immersion blender so my sauce is nice and smooth. A nice touch that makes the sauce even better!

Another little “secret” trick when making tomato sauce is to add a small amount of sugar. It can be granulated, coconut or raw. Another alternative is to add a whole carrot… peeled of course! It will release enough sweetness to remove that “tart” taste we get when making tomato sauce. When cooking time is over, the carrot has to be removed.

This Classic Marinara Sauce is “simple” and easy to make. It is very flavorful, smooth and savory… the perfect sauce recipe for you and your family!
Bon Appétit!
