MARINARA SAUCE
Primary category:
Ingredients
4 TB olive oil1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic
8 plum tomatoes
3 TB fresh basil
Salt & pepper
Procedure
Heat a sauté pan, add olive oil. Sauté until the onion is translucent. Crush and mince the garlic (a little salt will help to keep it on the cutting board). Cut the tomatoes into 1/4" pieces. Add the tomatoes and garlic to the onions in the pan.
Bring up the heat to moderate and cook until the tomatoes break down slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the freshly chopped basil, salt and pepper to taste. Pour over 1/2 lb of your favorite pasta (we like vermicelli or linguine for this sauce).
