Gather Your Ingredients San Marzano tomatoes, onions, garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, olive oil, spaghetti, fresh basil, Parmesan cheese.

Make the  Marinara Sauce

In a medium saucepan, add San Marzano tomatoes, finely chopped onions, and minced garlic. Stir in dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and olive oil.

Simmer the Sauce

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Lower the heat, stir occasionally, and let it simmer for 45 minutes.

Simmering Secrets

Allow your sauce to simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking process melds the flavors beautifully.

Blend the Sauce

Once cooked, use a blender or food processor to puree the sauce to your desired consistency. This step is optional but creates a smooth, rich texture.

Cook the Spaghetti

While your sauce simmers, boil your spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions. Remember to reserve some pasta water!

Serve and Garnish

Serve the spaghetti marinara in bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
