Ingredients

Marinara Sauce:

Serving Options:

  • Spaghetticooked to al dente
  • Zucchini noodles

Instructions:

  1. Heat McEvoy Ranch Organic Traditional Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a 5-quart pot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the garlic. Turn the heat down to low and cook until the garlic is fragrant and starting to brown a little, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
  2. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Use a spoon or potato masher to crush the tomatoes a bit. Stir in the basil springs.
  3. Bring to a boil, and then cover the pot, but leave the lid ajar. Turn the heat down to simmer, and cook 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce is done when it’s thickened and the oil has separated from the tomato. (See photo in the post above for reference.)
  4. Remove the cooked basil springs and discard.
  5. Serve with any type of pasta you like, or use it any way you’d use marinara sauce.
