Marinara Sauce from Sarah Moulton

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 cup minced onion a small onion or half a larger one
  • 2 tsp minced or pressed garlic a few cloves
  • 1 28- oz can tomato puree
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper optional but gives a nice kick!
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • grated Parmesan cheese at the table

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic and cook a minute, then add the tomato puree. Add the crushed red pepper if you're using. It makes the sauce a bit spicy.
  • Stir it all together, bring to a simmer and cook, covered partially, about 20 minutes. Heat some pre-cooked meatballs or sausage in the sauce if you like, then top with some freshly grated Parmesan.
