Instant Marinara Sauce


14 oz can no sugar added tomato sauce
3 T tomato paste
2 T olive oil
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t dried oregano
1/2 t dried basil
pinch kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Place all ingredients in small saucepan and heat over medium heat to just below boiling. Serve with your favorite pasta. Serves 4.

Chef's Note: Don't skip using tomato paste. It's concentrated flavor gives this recipe a long-cooked taste in a fraction of the time.

  1. This went into my "Save" file. I can already tell that this will be a very handy recipe. Spaghetti is one of Shawn's favorite dinners.

  2. Canned tomatoes and tomato paste are always in my pantry (along with various canned beans) so a quick meal is always easy. :)
