How to make raw marinara sauce.

Recipe Summary Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce

A rich, flavorful sauce that is healthy. Great for use in pasta, lasagna, and other casseroles. My favorite way to eat it is to pour over raw zucchini 'pasta' for an extra-fresh and tasty meal that's very healthy, too! A great recipe for using up extra-ripe tomatoes from your garden. Double the batch and freeze half; it freezes well.

Ingredients | Thawed Marinara Mix Recipe

3 tablespoons olive oil

½ onion, chopped

8 large tomatoes, peeled and cut into big chunks

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 bay leaf

½ cup red wine

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon fennel seed

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, or more to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes; add tomatoes, garlic, and bay leaf. Bring the liquid from the tomatoes to a boil, reduce to medium-low, and simmer mixture until tomatoes are softened, about 30 minutes.

Stir red wine, honey, basil, oregano, marjoram, salt, black pepper, fennel seed, and crushed red pepper into the tomato mixture; bring again to a simmer and cook until herbs have flavored the sauce, about 30 minutes more.

Stir balsamic vinegar into the sauce.
