We built this recipe from a lot of trial and error and a little experimentation with the wine selection. It has a sweet flavor with just a little zing to keep things interesting. Great for all types of italian dishes. We even used it for Italian sausage bombers.

BIG POT MARINARA SAUCE - EASY PEASY



Big Pot Marinara Sauce - Easy Peasy image

This is so good I refuse to buy marinara or spaghetti sauce from the jar now. I make this and freeze the leftovers and we get about 5-6 meals from each batch. My husband likes to pour this over baked chicken breasts and tops with provolone cheese. Its very versatile.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

9 lb tomatoes peeled, seeded, diced
1 c onion, diced
1 c carrot, finely chopped
1 1/4 c celery, finely chopped
1/4 c olive oil
3 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp sugar
2 medium bay leaf
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp oregano, dried
1 tsp marjoram, dried
as needed pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. I make this during canning season so at this point I have already peeled seeded and chopped my tomatoes and they are cooking on med-low with the 2 bay leaves in large pot for about an hour to thicken them up. (I do leave some seeds in my marinara)In the winter I use 4 quarts of home canned tomatoes.
  • 2. Chop up the onions, carrots and celery.
  • 3. In a large skillet combine and cook onion, celery, and carrots in the olive oil until tender - about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Add garlic and stir. Remove from heat.
  • 5. Add celery, carrots and onion mixture to the pot of tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
  • 6. I use a Immersion blender to puree the marinara right in the pot. We like ours with little veggies pieces but you could blend until smooth.
  • 7. Add your oregano marjoram and basil to the pot and cook to your desired consistency.
  • 8. Serve over hot pasta. This makes a big pot. I freeze the leftovers after the sauce has cooled. This recipe usually gets us 5 meals and we have a 4 people family.
