CANNED SAN MARZANO TOMATO SAUCE

• Heat the olive oil in a non-reactive saucepan (one with a stainless steel finish) over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic in the oil for few minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juices, and add the basil and oregano.
• Reduce heat to low, and let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, using a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes as they cook. Taste and add salt (or other seasonings) as desired. Remove from heat, and serve immediately or store in the fridge or freezer.

Steps:

• Gently crush the tomatoes and set aside. Be sure to save the puree from the can. Alternatively, you can use already crushed tomatoes if you can find them.

• Add the tomatoes, with the puree, salt, pepper, and oregano (and red pepper, if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes stirring occasionally. After 30 minutes taste for salt and pepper and reduce down to desired consistency.
• Serve over pasta and garnish with fresh basil.

SAN MARZANO TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook garlic: In a large pot on LOW-MEDIUM heat sauté garlic in olive oil for 30-60 seconds. Stir constantly to keep garlic from burning.
• Add tomatoes and simmer: pour canned tomatoes with juices in with the garlic. Add tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix ingredients together, partially cover with lid - but not completely, and simmer on LOW heat for 4+ hours. Stir every so often to avoid burning. Note: if using a parmesan rind, add it in this step and let it simmer with sauce until finished. Remove and discard rind when ready to serve.
• For smooth sauce: when sauce is finished cooking, use a hand immersion-blender to puree. Note: If you prefer a chunkier/thicker sauce (like I do), you can skip this step as the San Marzanos naturally break down while cooking.
• Add herbs: when sauce is finished, mix in chopped fresh herbs. Season with additional salt & black pepper if needed and serve!

SAN MARZANO PERFECT MARINARA SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Open the can of Nina San Marzano tomatoes, being very careful since the large size of the can makes it awkward. The lid is very sharp be careful not to cut yourself. Pour the tomatoes into a large pot. Mash them a few times with your potato masher and set aside.Slice your garlic with a garlic slicer or use a sharp paring knife to cut very thin slices.
• Now you'll need a fairly large saute pan. Heat about ¼ cup of the olive oil in the pan on medium and then add the sliced garlic. Saute only until golden brown. (Be careful not to burn it, there is nothing worse than burnt garlic. Watch your heat if it's too hot it can burn the garlic almost instantly. If you do burn the garlic you might as well start all over again.) Then add the crushed garlic, splash with some white wine if desired and saute for just a little longer.
• Remove the saute pan from the heat and pour the garlic mixture into the large pot with the tomatoes. Pour in the remaining olive oil, salt and simmer uncovered for approximately 60 to 90 minutes. When the sauce has reduced to the thickness you like, remove from heat and add the freshly cut basil and stir.
• There is a common misconception that you should cook the family recipe for pasta sauce "all day". Not this marinara sauce recipe!
