Quick Marinara Sauce

Quick Marinara Sauce

Preparation

Step 1


Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.


Step 2


Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the salt and season with pepper to taste. Use now, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Cook's note: For more texture, add seeded chopped tomatoes at the end. Also add fresh chopped herbs for a fuller herb flavour.
