INGREDIENTS
•
SILKY MARINARA SAUCE
•
Ingredients:
•
• ¼ cup olive oil
•
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
•
• 1 (28 oz.) can chopped, canned tomatoes, purred in blender for 5 seconds
•
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
•
• ⅓ cup water
•
• 2 tsp. sugar
•
• 1 tbs. unsalted butter (optional)
•
• ⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes
•
Steps:
•
1. Heat a saucepan on medium-high heat.
•
2. Add olive oil and garlic, and sauté garlic, turning gently until it starts to turn golden on all sides. Be careful not to burn garlic or the sauce will taste bitter. If this happens, discard and start over again.
•
3. Add tomatoes, salt, water, sugar, butter, and red pepper flakes.
•
4. Lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
•
5. If the sauce is too thick, add the water, ¼ cup at a time. You don't want it too watery, but you do want it to have a silky consistency.
•
*Tip: Freeze any leftover marinara sauce and save it for another day. It will last up to 3 months.
•
*Tip: You can save time by using frozen creamed spinach.
•
*Tip: The great thing about this dish is that you can freeze the roll ups' so when you go to reheat them, you can just pull them out as individual servings.
