Marinara Sauce

This is the basic marinara sauce that I use as for all kinds of pasta, pizza and meatloaf.

Ingredients

• 2 cups passata (tomato puree)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Sauté garlic in the olive oil until it just begins to change color.
2. Add basil, thyme and oregano and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add passata, season with salt and pepper, and bring just to a boil.
4. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
