This recipe for Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce is going to knock your socks off. Tangy, flavorful, and infused with garlic, this sauce is great with mozzarella sticks, pizza, and pasta.
First, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil to medium. Cook the finely diced celery and onion for about 7 minutes, until soft, translucent, and slightly browned.
Then stir in the roasted garlic. Crush it with the back of your spoon, stirring it into the oil, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir for another 3 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes (undrained), oregano, pepper flakes, salt + pepper. Combine.
Next bring to a low boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat, then simmer for 30 – 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened.
