Small Onion

Small carrot

Rib celery

Cloves Garlic

Extra virgin olive oil

Crushed Tomatoes

Water

Bay leaf

Salt

step 1

Put the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Or finely chop the vegetables by hand. 

step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables and saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. 

step 3

Add the crushed tomatoes, water or broth, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper and basil (if using). Stir. 

step 4

Bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low; simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove the cover and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. 

step 5

If you prefer a smooth sauce, pure it in batches in a blender. Make sure you never fill the blender more than one-third to one-half full with the hot sauce mixture. Leave the lid slightly crackedand cover with a folded kitchen towel in hand. Steam from hot liquids can blow the lid off of a blender if it's too full and tightly closed. 

step 6

Use the finished marinara sauce immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer. Bringthe sauce to a simmer before serving.
