Serve with pasta and a side of warm Homemade Garlic Bread for an easy weeknight dinner everyone will enjoy! Simply saute onions, garlic carrots, and celery in a pan, adding tomatoes, seasoning, and fresh herbs – it’s that easy! San Marzano tomatoes are high-quality tomatoes with a sweet flavor and little acidity. Legally, and to be called a San Marzano, this tomato has to be grown in the Sarno Valley in Italy and there will be a DOP symbol on the can. Use 1 lb of fresh tomatoes for every 14oz can (this recipe would need 4 lbs). See the recipe notes for more detailed instructions. In the middle of the softened vegetables, form a well, and add the remaining olive oil, followed by the garlic. Allow the garlic to brown slightly (being careful not to let it burn). This allows the garlic to release the most flavor. Mix in the tomatoes and herbs. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve this Spaghetti Sauce on pasta or add it to pizza – the choices are endless!
