Brother Aaron's Spicy Marinara Sauce 🍅🌶️

This hearty marinara sauce packs a flavorful punch and is perfect for topping pasta, pizza, or even as a base for a savory stew. With its blend of fresh ingredients and spices, this sauce is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Plus, it's easy to make in large batches, so you can freeze leftovers for a quick weeknight meal!

Ingredients

32 oz. diced tomatoes
10 oz. crushed tomatoes
32 oz. tomato paste
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1/8 cup dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp crushed red pepper (adjust based on your spice tolerance)
1/8 cup crushed fresh garlic

Instructions

Sauté the Garlic: In a large pot, sauté the crushed garlic over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.

🔥 Tip: Keep an eye on the garlic to avoid burning, as it can turn bitter if overcooked.
Combine the Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste to the pot. Follow with the cilantro, basil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
Simmer the Sauce: Stir everything together, then cover and heat on low for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

👩‍🍳 Pro Tip: For an even deeper flavor, let the sauce simmer longer if you have the time. The longer it cooks, the better the flavors meld!

Variations

Herbaceous Twist: Add fresh oregano or thyme for a different herbal profile.
Veggie-loaded: Toss in chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to sneak in some extra veggies.
Meaty Marinara: Brown some ground meat in the pot before adding the other ingredients for a hearty version.
Sweeten the Deal: If you find the sauce too acidic, add a tablespoon of sugar or a splash of balsamic vinegar to balance the flavors.

Serving Suggestions

This marinara sauce is versatile! Use it with your favorite pasta, as a dipping sauce for garlic bread, or on top of a homemade pizza. Don't forget to finish it off with fresh Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of extra herbs! 🍝🧀

Happy cooking! 🥳
