Moms Marinara Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until thickened and flavors are blended, 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up tomatoes with wooden spoon.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sugar and season with salt, to taste. Stir in the carrots and reseason with salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, and then add canned tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to break up some of the whole tomatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, about 20 minutes. If at any point the veggies or the sauce is getting dry, add some water. Continue cooking another 10 minutes, and then taste for seasoning. The tomatoes should be fairly broken down and the flavors coming together. Cook an additional 10 minutes. The sauce cooks about as long as it takes to make the meatballs from start to finish, about 45 minutes. Stir in the basil leaves and season with Parmesan.

Steps:

• 1. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil to medium hot skillet with lid and heat oil for 2 minutes.
• 2. Sauté garlic in pan 1 minute and add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well.
• 3. Add shredded basil, 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. ground pepper. Stir sauce, set temperature to low, partially add lid and cook 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• 4. Turn off heat and use for any recipe calling for marinara. Buon Appetito!

Steps:

• Cook the garlic and onion in the olive oil in a sauce pot over a medium-low flame, about 10 minutes or until garlic is tender and onions translucent, not brown (this is called"sweating" because it will draw out a lot of moisture and flavor).
• Add the chili flakes to taste.
• Add all the tomato products.
• Pour the chicken stock into one of the 28-oz cans.
• Fill it the rest of the way with water and add that and the sugar to the pot.
• Stir and bring to a simmer.
• Taste and season with salt and cover.
• Simmer the sauce for about 1 hour (the sauce should be fairly thin, but not watery and very smooth).
• Uncover and simmer for 3 minutes if it is too thin for your taste; add a little water if it seems thick.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan. (My Mom likes to pan sear the meat to "lock in the juices" but I can't tell the difference and don't usually do it).
• Sprinkle meat with the salt, garlic and onion packet all over.
• Now add the marina sauce and wine.
• Turn meat a few times to coat.
• Cook 3 hours, turning meat after 1 1/2 hours.
• The meat will be done when it is tender when pierced with a fork.
• Remove brisket to a cutting board and let cool a bit for easier cutting.
• Cut meat on the diagonal of the grain.
• Return meat to sauce and serve.
• It is also great the next day and it freezes well.
