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

Ingredients

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 Oregano

1 Tsp Basil

Dash sea salt, if desired

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.
