Momma's Marinara for Stuffed Shells

Recipe Introduction


This is a great fresh tasting sauce. You can use it with the Spinach Stuffed Shell recipe in my Casserole file or with any dish that needs a tomato (not meat) sauce.

The only changes that I ever make are to use fresh basil when I have some. At the height of summer, I have used fresh wonderful tomatoes in place of the canned ones and that is remarkable!!! I also sometimes need to add a little sugar if the canned tomatoes are acidy.





List of Ingredients



• 2 garlic cloves - minced
  
• 1 small onion - chopped
  
• 2 T. olive oil
  
• 48 oz. canned tomatoes - crushed
  
• 1 - 6 oz. can tomato paste
  
• 3 t. dried basil
  
• salt and pepper, to taste
  






Instructions



1. Saute onions and garlic in oil until soft. Add rest of the ingredients and simmer 1/2 hour.
