Marinara, or alla marinara β is a classic Italian sauce of bright red color, made from peeled tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, and oregano. There are many variations that include onions, olives, capers, salted anchovies, and hot chili peppers. But in any case, this is a rich sauce where the βstarβ is still the tomatoes. It perfectly complements pasta, pizza, and meat dishes.
We based our recipe on the original, but as always, we made our minimal adjustments. We will show the entire cooking process below.
We will need:
peeled tomatoes β 1 can (400 g)
1 cup of water
3-4 cloves of garlic
olive oil
a mix of dried basil and oregano (for this amount of ingredients we took one tablespoon each)
1 fresh hot chili pepper
a pinch of salt (to taste).

Cooking
The only process that requires the use of a knife is finely chopping the garlic and chili pepper.

Next, we will only need a frying pan and 25-30 minutes of time.
Add water (with which we washed the remnants of tomato puree from the can), spices, and salt. Stir and cover with a lid that allows for evaporation.
