This sauce is great for spaghetti or lasagna. Add diced veggies or meat.

Simmer in 1 cup of water:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    After simmering, I use it as marinara sauce for spaghetti, stuffed noodles, lasagna, etc. I have not canned (bottled) this recipe. It is important when you can to use a recipe that has been tested. If the acidity is not right, you put yourself at risk for food poisoning. I am motivated to bottle salsa, tomatoes, tomato juice, tomato sauce, marinara, etc. this year. So I’ll post about when I do!

    Have you figured out how to can this recipe?

    Karen–great question! I THINK this recipe can be canned, but I’m not 100% sure. You’d definitely be safe if you pressure canned it, I’m not so sure about water bath canning.

    I planned to can tomato sauce until I talked to my friend and neighbor who is Italian. She said they never can tomato sauce. Instead, can Roma tomatoes (with lemon juice and a few basil leaves), then make this recipe (or a simpler version–olive oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes, spices) fresh and serve.
