Marinara Sauce

I have two upcoming recipes that require Marinara Sauce, so I thought I would give this a whirl, and make my own. 

Here is the recipe:

Marinara Sauce:

2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 clove of garlic (minced)

1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes

2 tablespoons of tomato paste

2 tablespoons of fresh basil

1 tablespoon of fresh oregano

1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar

1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Grab a medium size sauce pan and with medium heat, brown the minced garlic.  This will take about two minutes.  

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix really well.  

Bring this to a boil and then turn your heat down to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.  While it is simmering, be sure and stir frequently.  

This will make approximately 3 cups.  

I placed mine in a bowl and covered so I can let it sit in the refrigerator for the day, while I pull my other recipes together.  I had to dip a little bread to try it out and it is, oh, so very good. 

It should be even better as these flavors marinate together for the day.  

I could dip bread in this all day.
