It was pretty easy and it used up all the canned tomatoes I had on hand. It tasted really good, also. The recipe calls for pureeing, but I couldn't be bothered with that. Instead I broke up the stewed tomatoes while they were cooking. The result was a very chunky sauce. I threw in some Italian sausages after partially frying them. They finsihed cooking in the sauce.
Homemade Marinara Sauce
1 T. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or crushed
1 sm. onion, diced
1 sm. green or sweet pepper, diced
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. dried fennel seeds
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
Dash black pepper
Directions:
- In a large saucepan, sauté garlic and onion in olive oil on low heat until onion is tender.
- Stir all remaining ingredients in with sautéd mixture; heat just to boiling; then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Optional: Carefully purée the hot sauce in in a food processor or a blender. (I didn't puree mine.)
