Basil Marinara Sauce

- #92966
serves/makes:
ready in:
1-2 hrs
1-2 hrs
ingredients
7 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil (extra virgin is too bitter)
3 cans (28 ounce size) whole tomatoes, crushed by hand
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper
sugar
directions
Saute whole garlic cloves slowly in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown or even caramelized (the longer the better).
Then add tomatoes, mashing them as they cook into sauce before adding fresh basil in strips, a stream of oil, salt and pepper to taste and perhaps a sprinkle of sugar to blunt the acidity of the tomatoes.
Place the pot on low, on a back burner, and simmer as long as time allows. (When reheating, heat until oil rises to the top, then stir it back in and serve.)
Variation: To make Fra Diavola Marinara, take a generous pinch of red pepper flakes and with your fingers, crush well. Stir into marinara according to taste.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
