Marinara Sauce

Shown here with Meatballs and Garlic Cheese Bread (Recipes also found on this blog)

 1C. Minced Onion

2 Tbsp. Minced Garlic

28 oz. Can Crushed Tomatoes

¼ C. Water

2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste

2 Tsp. Honey

1 Tbsp. Dried Oregano

2 Tsp. Dried Basil

½ Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes (I like it spicy so I use 1 tsp.)

Salt to taste

In a skillet over medium heat, saute onion and garlic until tender. Reduce heat to low and add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, honey, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about an hour.

We use this Marinara for:

Meatballs on a Stick (with marinara dipping sauce)

Spaghetti and Meatballs(There is no separate recipe for that, kinda self explanatory:)

Mini Meatball Subs

Baked Cheese Ziti
