Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 whole Yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 clove Garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
- 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 can Whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 as needed Fresh basil sprig plus 6 basil leaves, torn
- 1 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
Crush tomatoes by hand in a bowl, reserving all juices.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion. Cook 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add garlic and optional crushed red pepper. Cook approximately 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add crushed tomatoes and their juices. Add salt, black pepper and basil sprig.
Bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for approximately 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove basil sprig. For a rustic marinara, leave the sauce as-is. For a smoother marinara, briefly use an immersion blender.
Stir in torn fresh basil. Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with optional drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
