This was an easy recipe and was great as a pasta primavera sauce.

What a great simple recipe to doctor up to your taste preferences. I just used this to make a delicious spaghetti sauce. I added some chopped up Italian breakfast sausage and let it simmer for about 45 minutes before pouring it over some cooked spaghetti. I really can't think of a dish that's this good and cheap to make at the same time. This is a keeper!

I have not purchased jarred sauce since I tried this recipe 4-months ago. I don't enjoy cooking, but this recipe is so quick and easy that anyone can do it. Best of all, it tastes like you actually know how to cook! Thanks for the recipe.

This is good gravy! I have made it twice now. I recommend using 1/2 as much onion as called for, and adding fresh "sweet basil".

This is so easy! I just went to the pantry and whipped it up. I did use italian seasoning instead of just the oregano. Turned out great:)

I love this marinara! It's so easy! I double the garlic and the sugar. This is a snap to make. I like to serve this as an accompaniment for the Zucchini Patties from this site.

We love it. I've used it for everything from lasanga to stuffed zucchini. I like to put in diffrent herbs depending on my mood. I've also added 1/4lb ground beef and 1/2 lb hot italian turkey sausage to make a fabulous meat sauce for spagetti. It also freezes wonderfully if you want to double your batch and throw it in the freezer for another night.

I am giving this 5 stars becuase it was so easy and so tasty. I pretty much followed the recipe except I added some fresh basil and pepper. Good flavors. I will make again.

Very nice, simple recipe. It's a great base that allows for additions to accommodate your tastes. I added a few more spices (parsley, crushed red pepper, bay leaf), omitted the onion, and sauteed some fresh mushrooms with the garlic at the beginning. I did let it simmer for over an hour because I had the time to do so and I think the longer sauces simmer, the better they taste. This was really great served over penne pasta. Thank you :)

This is a great recipe if you need something quick. My brother was making calamari and forgot to buy some dipping sauce so I whipped up this recipe. I only simmered it for 5 minutes and it still turned out yummy.

First time was a success. Served this over the Garlic Cheese Chicken Rollups found elsewhere on this site. This sauce was a perfect complement to the chicken. Added another dash of oregano just for a stonger taste and increased the sugar by another 1/2 tsp to flavor the sauce. I don't like sweet marinara sauces and this is nowhere close to that. Definitely a keeper in the recipe box.

This is a great tasting and easy sauce. The only thing I had to change was to double the recipe, as we like a saucier pasta.

I love this recipe. I've fixed it twice now and I love it. Instead of adding the sugar, I add a couple of carrots and stalks of celery, cut into large chunks so I can remove them after the sauce has finished cooking. Also, if I have it, instead of adding the salt, I add the rind from a wedge of good parmesan and it gives SOOO much great flavor. I like that it's chunky, but you could also take a hand blender to it to smooth it out. Also, just for my personal taste, I grate three cloves of fresh garlic in and use a mix of basil and oregano. You should try this and hopefully you'll love it as much as I do.

This is a great base recipe for a marinara sauce. You can easily add to it peppers, carrots, etc. by lightly suateeing them first. Sweet onions are the best, if available. My one onion was way too huge I realized once I added the tomatoes, so I simply added another can of diced tomatoes and another can of sauce. I used about 6 cloves of garlic, chopped, added crushed red pepper and Italion seasoning, more sugar, and Tony Cachere's, and my dad was literally wiping his plate clean! I did let it simmer for about an hour, too. Served it with angel hair, parmesan breaded chicken breasts and garlic bread...delicious! And easy!

I was skeptical at first that a recipe so simple could taste so yummy, but this was great! I added a little bit of crushed red pepper and about a teaspoon of dried basil to the sauce and I served it over broiled polenta slices--I took it to a dinner party and they were all asking for seconds! I plan on making this again!

Yum! Made this sauce to use for eggplant parmesan and it was really awesome! I had to double it for the dish and used every bit of it for one medium sized eggplant. I used 6 garlic cloves, but that's because we are garlic lovers :) I'll be making this sauce from now on instead of buying the canned & jarred stuff since I always have the ingredients on hand. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
