The perfect recipe for pasta, Italian meatballs or even as a side for dipping deep fried cheese sticks is this marinara sauce.
In a large pot saute onions in olive oil for about 2 minutes or until soft. Add dried red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook over low heat for about 1 minute.
Add both type of tomatoes to the large pot along with salt, pepper and spices or fresh seasonings.
Using a hand-held immersion blender blend for about 15 seconds or until desired consistency. I like mine a little chunky.
Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
Serve over your favorite pasta or however you plan on using this marinara sauce and enjoy!
