Marinara Sauce Recipe | Sauced

When working on this marinara recipe, I realized I had probably never made marinara the same way twice. I've done versions that are no more than tomatoes, garlic, and onion; others have me scouring the cupboards for every ingredient I can possibly find to throw in and see what cooks up. The tomatoes stay dominant in this one but other flavors—small amounts of carrot, celery, as well as the ubiquitous onion and garlic—add nice undertones.

A quick and easy puree made from fresh tomatoes, which can then be used in any recipe calling for a tomato puree.
