Marinara Sauce (With or Without Meat) image

I got this recipe off the Internet a few years ago (I wish I could remember where!). It originally called for meat, which I still add, but lately I've been using it as a marinara sauce for main dishes that require spaghetti sauce. It's yummy, simple & comes together in no time. Plus you can easily cut it in half for whatever purposes! I use this for pizza-type recipes as well! Please feel free to play around with the spices!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup onion, chopped
3 -4 minced garlic cloves (I use the jarred kind)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 cups water
3 teaspoons dried parsley
3 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 lb ground beef (optional) or 1 lb ground turkey (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, brown onion & garlic over medium heat. If using meat, brown with the onion & garlic-drain well.
  • Add rest of ingredients on medicum-low heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover & simmer 15-20 minutes. Stir sauce every 5 minutes.
  • Serve over pasta, or use in other dishes.
  • I believe this makes about 4 cups-but it's a guess!
