Garlic Tomato Marinara Sauce

Quick and easy Garlic Tomato Marinara sauce loaded with freshly chopped garlic, onions, and parsley. It’s perfect over pasta or as a pizza sauce.

Okay, I’m starting this post with a disclaimer. If you don’t like garlic, well A) Why did you click on a link that started with the word Garlic?? and 2) Step away now!!

We grow garlic in our garden constantly, and then I freeze individual cloves. When needed I just take them out and defrost for a few minutes until I can chop them. Garlic can also be frozen already minced  in ice cube trays, about a tablespoon in each, covered with water, then once frozen placed in freezer bags or containers.

I make several different kinds of pasta sauces, so I’m kind of amazed that this is my first blog post on one! I can’t wait until we have in-season tomatoes so I can make my completely fresh sauce. I also love cream and butter sauces, my daughter so far will only eat butter sauces, usually with garlic!

    Wow! I never made Marinara sauce at home. This is a cakewalk recipe….we mostly do the first part when making any curry. Thanks so much! This sounds delicious.

    I don’t use parsley. Is there a sub that I can use?
