Total time: 15 min
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small yellow onion, diced; 3-4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1/2 teaspoon crushed chillies (optional); 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes; 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Because sometimes 10-minutes is all you’ve got, this simple marinara sauce can be made in a pinch for a quick weeknight dinner.

Homemade marinara is quick and easy to prepare and tastes way better than the store-bought stuff. This sauce comes together so quickly, it is great for those weeknights when you didn’t plan dinner and just need to get something on the table. Since it is made with basic pantry ingredients, you don’t need to worry about running to the grocery store; just open a jar of tomatoes, add some herbs, and away you go. If you have the time, you can simmer the sauce for longer to help bring the flavours together, but it still tastes great in 10 minutes.

I love making this10-Minute Marinara Sauce recipe ahead of time and storing it in the fridge for when it’s needed; it’s great over zucchini noodles, stirred into stews or even used as a base for a breakfast dish of spicy baked eggs.
