My Top, Classic, Easy, Vegan, Tomato Marinara Sauce Recipe

My Top, Classic, Easy, Vegan, Authentic Tomato Marinara Sauce Recipe

Thank you for stopping by for this homemade pizza sauce. I have to admit that I have often been lazy an tried to skip this part and try to find easier ways to get a pizza sauce from using just crushed tomatoes, flavoured passata, leftover pasta sauce, and even ketchup (yes, I know, the horror), but after may fails I cam to the realization that even if this step seems easy to cut corners with, one really just cheats themself.
Instead, I now use this easy pasta sauce, which I make in a batch and freeze in small upcycled glass jars (for example from mustard, from tomato passata or vegan pesto, also, make sure you leave few centimeters of air under the lid), that tends to be the perfect amount to defrost (overnight in the fridge or on the defrost setting in the microwave) in conjunction with the: Delicious & Easy 10 min Pizza Dough Recipe. This marinara sauce will take about 30 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

400 g (a can) of tinned tomatoes (your favourite tasting brand)
1/2 of a grated small/medium onion
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 medium-sized minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon of sugar
3/4 of a teaspoon of dried basil
1/2 a teaspoon of dried oregano
1/2 a teaspoon of salt

Steps: 

Prepare a pot (one which does not tend to burn too easily) and heat it up one medium heat. When heated up add the olive oil and the grated onions and fry for about 2 minutes. Add your herbs and minced garlic and stir fry for an additional 2 minutes (make sure the garlic does not catch or burn).

Add your canned tomatoes, salt, and sugar and crush the tomato bits evenly so there are no large lumps (you can blend them as well in the end if you wish but I prefer the sauce to have the texture).

Let it simmer for about 25 minutes on a lower heat.

Taste and season accordingly if you wish any flavour to have a more prominent taste.

Dress your pizza dough (or let it cool down and store it in the fridge or freezer).

Enjoy.



TIP: 

This recipe is easily multiplied in order to make a large batch to freeze in individual containers for many uses.

You can make this recipe a little spicy as well, just add some chili with the grated garlic into the pan.

  4. Ooo this souns lovely, will definitely be giving this a go. I like a bit of spice to a tomato base, so the option of adding chilli in with the garlic is a winner in my book!

    Thanks for sharing a lovely recipe.

      Yes, I like spice, too! Just keeping it more versitale as it is mainly a pizza base and many like it more classic :)

  5. This is such a great looking sauce, Nathalie, and you are so right - nothing beats homemade pizza/pasta sauce! I currently have so many cherry tomatoes and they would be perfect for this sauce. We love a homemade pizza!

      Yes, making your own is really rewarding but I have to be honest that whitout the freezer I would struggle to make it from scratch everytime so I am so thankful that I can freeze in batches as well.
