Why buy sauce in a jar with freaky ingredients and preservatives, when you can can make my Homemade Marinara Sauce in just a few minutes? This sauce has a simple, smooth tomato flavor and makes a ton, so you can freeze half of it and have it on hand for a quick meal another night.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine (1) 28oz can of tomato puree, (2) 15oz cans of tomato sauce and (1) 6oz can of tomato paste.
Stir in 1.5 T sugar, 1T Italian seasoning, .5t garlic powder and 1t salt.
Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The sauce will splatter as it simmers, partially coving it the pot lid is a good idea to help keep your kitchen clean. Just make sure to stir the sauce every few minutes to prevent it from scorching.
Notes
Pair this sauce with my Ground Turkey Meatball recipeHomemade Marinara sauce will last in the fridge for up to a week if you store it in an air tight container. This sauce makes a ton, so I usually freeze half of it to keep on hand for future quick meals.
