Mix homemade spaghetti sauce with a jar of the marinara sauce recipe
Last Updated on
There are a lot of great jarred spaghetti sauces on the market, but sometimes you just crave something homemade. This spaghetti sauce recipe is the perfect blend of both worlds. It starts with a jar of your favorite marinara sauce, and then adds a few homemade touches to give it even more flavor.
The key to this recipe is using a high quality jarred marinara sauce. Look for one that is made with all natural ingredients and has a short ingredient list. Once you have your sauce, the rest of the ingredients are simple pantry staples.
Olive oil, garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning come together to give this sauce an extra boost of flavor. If you want to spice things up a bit, you can always add a pinch or two more of the red pepper flakes. But start with less and then add more to taste.
Once the sauce is simmered on the stove for about 30 minutes, it’s ready to serve. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld together. Serve this sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Tips:
If you don’t have any Italian seasoning on hand, you can use a blend of dried basil, oregano, and thyme.
This sauce can also be used as a base for pizza or used as a dipping sauce for breadsticks or mozzarella sticks.
Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
