A Re-post

I used to make this recipe a lot but then I lost it.  I was talking to one of my sweet friends about my sadness over losing the recipe and she said, "Lindsey!  It's on your blog!"  Well, duh!  Here it is, so I thought I would share it again.  It's a keeper.  It's especially good with these bread sticks.

Marinara Sauce Recipe

Marinara Sauce

6 cans of 16oz tomatoes coarsely crushed
1/3 cup olive oil
6 cloves of garlic- pressed or minced
3 onions finely chopped (I've not ever used that much)
4 carrots- finely chopped
2 TSP dried basil
1 TSP dried oregano
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Heat oil in a 5 quart pot over medium heat. Cook garlic, onions, & carrots, stirring occasionally, until soft. Stir in tomatoes and juice, basil, oregano, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat & simmer rapidly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 1 1/2 hours or until sauce is very thick and reduced by about half.
