This is such a wonderful and fast Meal to prepare. I tend to have all in my pantry or freezer at all times. Glad that we retired to a place where seafood is abundant. I thaw the shrimp under running water and make the fast sauce while they do that. :-0

    3 Ingredient Marinara Sauce! Makes 2 cups: 1- 28 once can whole plum tomatoes 2 T olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced Salt, pepper
  • 5
    In a food processor or blender puree tomatoes until smooth. In a large skillet heat oil over med. heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring. Add tomatoes, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt and fresh ground pepper (1/2 tsp.) Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 15 minute. NOTE: some tomatoes are quite acidic, so I taste and add a little sugar or a "glug" of red/sweet Vermouth while simmering. Also during the summer I go to my herb pots outside get 4-5 basil leaves and through them in towards the end. Serve over rice or pasta. My husband has to have fresh grated parmesan on top. :-)
