Homemade Basil Marinara Sauce

June 21, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

When I first saw that basil was in my CSA box this week my first thought was pesto.  I had just made Arugula Pesto and still had some leftover so I needed to make something different.  The smell of the basil was so fragrant and powerful!  It reminded me of a big bowl of spaghetti.  That’s when I decided to make marinara sauce.  The local tomatoes have been absolutely perfect at the farmer’s market so I picked some up to use in my sauce.  We usually have a dish with marinara sauce at least once a week and I end up buying a jar of organic marinara sauce with no added sugar.  It works, but I always ended up adding a lot of seasonings and spices to it because the jarred sauce has no flavor.  My Homemade Basil Marinara Sauce was so easy to make and full of flavor!  The freshness of the local produce really makes a difference.  I definitely suggest getting your hands on some local, organic tomatoes and basil and trying this dish out.  It’s so easy to make and the recipe can easily be doubled if you want to freeze some for later.
