Delicious Red Sauce Recipe

Famous Restaurant Sauce Recipe

Use this restaurant recipe for Marinara Sauce as a pasta sauce (no meat pasta), as a soup base, on pizza or as a dip for cheese sticks. It’s delicious and easy to make.

Preparation Time: 1 hour. Number of Servings: 12-15.

Cooking Conversion Table

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 pound of butter (or use olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup chopped garlic
  • 3 1/2 pounds crushed tomatoes
  • One 26 ounce can of tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry basil (prefer 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper

    Now, BEFORE you begin ...
    Do not use aluminum pans unless they are hard anodized aluminum. This and other recipes that contain tomatoes will react with aluminum (or is it the other way around?) and cause an off taste.

    Also this sauce scorches easily so PLEASE keep it to a simmer. Simmer means to cook gently over low heat (no lid). You should only see tiny bubbles (remember that song?) just breaking the surface of the liquid.


    Ready! Set! Go!

    Instructions:

  • Heat a soup pot or stock pot or a very large skillet over medium-low heat
  • When your pan is hot, add butter or oil (butter should "foam up" immediately, but not burn)
  • Add garlic and sauté until garlic is soft and turns white (Don’t burn)
  • Add squeezed tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil and pepper and cook uncovered while stirring until sauce begins to simmer. Leave uncovered and adjust the heat as needed to keep the sauce just simmering (stirring frequently) for about 45 minutes
  • Strain the sauce or puree in a food processor
    if you prefer a smooth sauce
  • Correct the seasoning to your taste

    Use immediately or refrigerate in shallow pan to cool safely. When the sauce is cool, transfer to a covered container. This sauce freezes well once it is cool.

    An easy but delicious restaurant recipe for Marinara Sauce. And this restaurant sauce recipe can be used in many different ways and with a large variety of foods.
