    Classic Marinara Sauce

    Published: Nov 30, 2011 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    There are many excellent pasta sauces on the market, and they can't be beat for convenience. But they can't compare to a homemade marinara, and the wonderful aroma that will permeate your kitchen as it cooks!

    Serves: about 6 (enough for 1 pound of pasta)

    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 1 cup stemmed and thinly sliced small mushrooms, optional
    • 28-ounce can pureed tomatoes
    • 14- to 16-ounce can diced tomatoes
    • 14- to 16-ounce can tomato sauce
    • ¼ cup dry red wine, optional
    • ½ teaspoon each: dried oregano, basil, thyme, and marjoram
      (or substitute 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning)
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and onion and sauté over low heat until golden about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Add all the remaining ingredients except the salt and pepper and bring gently to a simmer. Cover and simmer very gently for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over hot cooked pasta or use as a sauce for lasagna or eggplant dishes.
