Decided to make my own marinera sauce and I don't think I will be going back to the store bought stuff especially because it is so simple!
Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes diced
1 large carrot grated
1/4 cup water
Spices/herbs: basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes
*you do not need all of the spices so if your missing a few just leave them out
* fresh is always the best way but you can also use dried
Directions:
If you are using real onions, or garlic place them in the sauce pan first and saute for 3-4 minutes. Next place tomatoes, carrots, and a little bit of water and bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Add a few sprinkles of each spice except salt (1/4 tsp of each except salt, pepper and red pepper flakes!!!!) and only one sprinkle of pepper and red pepper flakes. Then put in blender and blend for 1 minute. Put back in sauce pan and add more water until desired consistency and salt to taste.
