Forget the jarred stuff—this is the "mother sauce" your kitchen deserves. This cozy, tomato-rich marinara is slow-simmered with a generous helping of FreshJax® Italian Herb, allowing the organic basil, oregano, and garlic to fully hydrate and release their aromatic oils. It’s a simple, hearty sauce that tastes like it’s been bubbling on a Sunday afternoon stove for hours.
Good to Know: Tomatoes are naturally high in umami (the savory "fifth taste"). By simmering this sauce for at least 20 minutes, you concentrate those natural flavors, creating a rich, meaty depth that makes the absence of salt completely unnoticeable.
Ingredients
1 lb spaghetti
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 tsp FreshJax® Italian Herb Seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
