How To Make The Perfect Marinara Sauce
Nothing accompanies a big plate of pasta better than a heavy layer of red pasta sauce. The tasty, tangy marinara sauce works perfectly with any kind of pasta or as a dipping sauce. You can use fresh tomatoes from the garden or purchase canned crushed tomatoes. If you are short on time, buy the canned variety so you do not have to crush the tomatoes by hand. Lightly sauté minced garlic – be careful to not burn it – in with white onions then add the crushed tomatoes. Add any dried spices at the beginning of the cooking process then allow the sauce to reduce. Add fresh herbs and black pepper to the reduced mixture and simmer until it reaches your ideal consistency. In this video, Chef Mark will show you how to make the perfect marinara sauce in just a few steps. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
