FRESH TOMATO MARINARA SAUCE



Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce image

A rich, flavorful sauce that is healthy. Great for use in pasta, lasagna, and other casseroles. My favorite way to eat it is to pour over raw zucchini 'pasta' for an extra-fresh and tasty meal that's very healthy, too! A great recipe for using up extra-ripe tomatoes from your garden. Double the batch and freeze half; it freezes well.

MARINARA

My mother, who was Italian American, called marinara sauce "gravy." She made this marinara sauce recipe in big batches several times a month, so it was a staple on our dinner table. A mouthwatering aroma filled the house each time she cooked it. -James Grimes, Frenchtown, New Jersey

I had a lot of tomatoes this year and after trying other marinara sauces, I came up with this one. We like a little spicy. You can also use canned tomatoes for this recipe. Try this sauce with Recipe #23713--it's wonderful.

GARDEN FRESH MARINARA SAUCE image

Categories     Sauce     Tomato     Vegetarian     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

10-12 organic garden Ripe Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fresh Garden Sweet Basil
1 tsp. dried garden oregano
1 Garden grown Chili Pepper
1 Tsp Fresh Garden Thyme
4 smashed Organic Garlic Cloves
1/4 chopped fresh Parsley(I like Flat Leaf from my garden)
3 Tbs. Good Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Red Wine (I use whatever I am serving with dinner)
3 Fresh Garden Spring Onions, chopped
Kosher salt and Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Place Ripe Tomatoes in a metal collander or China Cap and lower it into the simmering water. Remove as soon as skins begin to split. When Tomatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins by gently peeling them off. (They should remove easily, but if they do not, re-emerse into hot water for another minute) Run peeled Tomatoes through a food mill, or if you do not have access to one, quarter the Tomatoes and remove the seeds. Then sqeeze them over a bowl and remove any hard core pieces. In a Large saute pan heat EVOO. Add smashed and chopped Fresh Garlic, Sliced Spring Onions including greens,chopped Red Chili Pepper and fresh Herbs. Stir on a medium heat until Garlic is golden brown and the aroma of herbs is released. Add 1 cup of good Red Wine and de-glaze the pan. Cook the wine and herbs until Wine is reduced by half. Add pureed Tomatoes and stir. Reduce heat to a simmer. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer stirring every 5 to 10 minutes or so for 30 minutes. Serve over Pasta of choice (Fresh is always great) Add a little of the Pasta cooking water if sauce begins to thicken too much. Grate a little Parmigiana-Regiano for even more Great Italian Taste.
