I have made this recipe several times. When I made it with garden tomatoes, I added the salt. When I used canned tomatoes, I did not add salt. I cook Italian all the time and my family absolutely loves this simple recipe.

I didn't expect to be entertained when I read some of the reviews, but you gotta admit, some of them were amusing. The bashing, the bickering, the almost name-calling made me chuckle in disbelief. Folks, it's only meant to be a basic tomato sauce recipe...OK! Lighten up, kids. I'm a 67 year old grandmother and all my kids love my cooking, especially when I cook Italian. I guess I could be considered kinda online saavy because even I could figure out to just click on the hyperlink to get the recipe. I just thought I would look up a different version for marinara to try and this one intrigued because of all the reviews. It is basically like the one I usually make. I just added a couple of my favorite herbs and some red pepper flakes. It was delicious. It's almost like what I always make and it's close to what my wonderful Italian mother-in-law used to make. You can enjoy being a little creative with this basic Italian tomato sauce. Enjoy!

This is a four-forker. This is like driving a Mercedes on a clear night. Fast and luxurious.

Wow! Can't understand all the bickering going on here over a good, basic "starter sauce". This sauce is exactly how my x's italian grandmother taught me how to make. You can tweak it however you want by adding whatever spices and herbs you prefer. I do use more garlic than listed but only because we love garlic. What good cook follows a recipe to the tee? It takes imagination to create things we love to cook and eat!

First off, thank you to the person writing in letting people know to click on the Tomato Sauce link. This recipe has been a big hit with my family, and I've been asked to make it many times over. I did ease off the onion and only added one instead of two. It's pretty heavy on onion. I also add all the sauce to a pound of spaghetti. Excellent recipe.

This recipe as-is, is very basic. I used it as a base, and tweaked it a bit, and had a very delicious marinara sauce. I added garlic, dried oregano and basil, and extra salt and sugar. My family enjoyed it, and I used the leftover sauce on my eggplant parmesan, which came out better than ever due to this homemade sauce. So, while this recipe doesn't stand very well on its own, with a little help, it was delicious, and worthy of a repeat.

这是一个很好的基本是意大利人分开始ce as understood by most Americans. As is it is great for kids. Once they are fed,it is easy to "doctor it" according to your own taste. A true marinara is not much more than OLIVE OIL, GARLIC & DICED TOMATO. Lighten up enjoy some good food Bon Appe'tit

It was OK. but rather bland. How hard it is it to add a few extra ingredients? Also, your web designers should say click this link for sauce recipe. I was taken aback at first until i realized it was a link. However, I had to add some other spices wehn i made it, i tasted so bland. Basil, Parsley, and Oregano are musts, but I also like to add red pepper. Gives it a kick and helps boost metabolism.

The tomatoe sauce recipe is easy and simple, but i prefer some basil, oregano, and parsley in my sauce. It was kind of bland. How hard is it to add a few more ingredients? Also adding a bit of red pepper gives spaghetti a great kick.
