This is my family's favorite simple marinara sauce, which I have been making the same way for over 30 years.
Serves: Makes about 4 cups
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 60 min

2 Tbsp
Water
2
Onions, chopped
4 Cloves
Garlic, crushed
1/2 Pound
Mushrooms, chopped
2-15 Ounce Cans
Tomato sauce
15 Ounce Can
Chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp
Parsley flakes
2 Tsp

Directions
1
Place the water, onions, garlic and mushrooms in a large pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions soften and begin to take on a golden color, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Do not cover. Serve over pasta.
Hints: This may be made ahead and reheated. It also freezes well.
