A good Marinara Sauce is so versatile and should be a fridge staple. This simple recipe can be whipped up in 10 minutes!

Getting started
2

Wash and drain the tomatoes and fresh basil. Peel the onion and garlic.

3

Place most of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to dice the onion and mash the garlic before to make sure there are no large pieces left.

If you prefer a chunky texture, leave some tomatoes and basil aside, dice and add to the smooth sauce.

5

When done, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week.

This recipe makes about 300 g marinara sauce (18-20 tablespoons). I often make double or triple and freeze it in small containers.

Also, feel free to add some chilli if you like your Marina Sauce with a bit of kick.
