How To Make Authentic Italian Marinara

• Begin by adding your olive oil to a pot. Peel and half two onions and place them into the oil. Peel and crush three cloves of garlic so that they are still whole but the juices are able to escape. Add your two cans of peeled whole tomatoes. If adding dried italian seasonings, add these now.
• Bring the entire pot to medium low heat, covered. After about 20 minutes, it should begin to bubble. Reduce the temperature to low, cover, and allow this all to continue to cook for at least an hour.
• Once it is done cooking, use tongs to carefully remove the onions and garlic and discard. Use an immersion blender to carefully blend the tomatoes or if you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a potato masher for a more chunky texture.
• Taste your sauce and add salt if desired. We like to store our sauce in the fridge overnight before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop. Enjoy with fresh pasta!
