Simple Marinara Sauce

Contributed by: Melinda

I love Muir Glen canned tomato products so I generally have some of everything on hand. I use mostly whole, peeled tomatoes and tomato paste.

One 28 oz. can whole peeled plum tomatoes or 2/3 can tomato paste blended with 1 1/2 cups mild chicken broth
1 large clove garlic, grated
1 anchovy fillet, minced (optional)
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp dried basil leaf, ground
Olive Oil
Ground black pepper
Kosher salt to taste

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat
Add anchovy and red chili flakes - cook until anchovy has dissolved into the oil
With Tomato Paste
Add tomato paste and stir and cook until oil has taken on a deep red color
Add chicken broth and blend to incorporate broth and paste well
Add grated garlic, basil, black pepper and no more than 1/2 tsp salt
Simmer for 10 minutes for flavors to blend
Taste and adjust seasonings
With Whole Tomatoes
Add tomatoes breaking up with a spoon and cook for approximately 20 minutes to reduce liquid and break down tomato pieces
Add garlic, basil, black pepper and salt
Simmer for 10 minutes for flavors to blend
Taste and adjust seasonings

Serve over home made ravioli, mixed with pasta or as a sauce with red meat.
