Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup finely chopped onion

- 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- In a medium size skillet, sauté the onion over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until tender. Add garlic and continue sautéing for another few minutes.

- Simmer for 20 minutes over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Serve over your favorite pasta, chicken parmigiana or eggplant parmigiana.
Notes
Storage:
- Fridge: Store your marinara sauce in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Freezer: Place cooled marinara in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, I recommend moving it to the fridge a day or two before you need it, allowing the sauce to thaw. If you need to thaw it quickly, you can also take it from the freezer to the stove top or microwave.
- Canned: Marinara sauce can be canned. If you follow safe canning procedures and store your canned sauce in a dark cool place, it can stay good for up to a year!
