- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2024
- 4 ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need to create the most iconic and authentic Italian marinara sauce. So simple, full of flavor and perfect for the beginner cook using common pantry staples. This recipe uses canned or bottled tomatoes just like they use in Italy and I promise you the flavor is so fresh! This marinara sauce stores in the fridge for 5-6 days or you can make a double batch and freeze it for a few months .You can use it not only for your classic pasta dishes but for lasagna, on meatballs, chicken and fish. It's the perfect kitchen staple to have on hand to create meals in minutes
Neopolitan Marinara Sauce
1 28 oz can San Marzano tomatoes or whole peeled tomatoes
4-5 cloves garlic finely chopped
5-6 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP oregano
salt to taste
Optional : 1-2 tsp honey or sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes if desired
Pour the tomatoes into a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan and add garlic. Cook garlic for about 30 seconds or so careful not to let it burn.
Add the tomatoes to the pan and 1 TBSP oregano. Salt to taste ( I use about a teaspoon or so)
Reduce heat and let simmer 15-20 minutes
Serve over pasta with fresh parsley or basil... serve over meatballs, steak, chicken or fish...use as a sauce for lasagna or dip your pizza or bread into it :)

Thank you Lisa- My Mom used Onion in hers w/ Basil and Parsley
- She disliked Oregano- told it was for Pizza - she was from Milan
But that was the Smell in the house with Italian coffee - when we returned from Church every Sunday 🙏🍜
Best smell ever :)
Oregano is used for pizza sauce should use basil.
My friend is from southern Italy had she says they don’t use oregano just basil .
@@EvelinHolmes Either way is delicious :)
Everyone thinks Italian food is difficult and full of spices. Simple always saves the day. 😂👍👍🙏
Just remember Italian foods is extensive. There are many meats and pasta dishes that take a long time. Not everything is quick. Some are hours long. So keep that in mind. Ragu` alla Bolognese is 3 to 5 hour's, some are even longer like alla napoletana. Now you know!!
It is ASTONISHING to me how many people in here are saying things like “Italians don’t eat it this way,” or “Italians only use” this thing or that thing. There are such things as regional cooking, and familial preferences. Just because something is made a specific way in your house doesn’t mean others can’t do it differently. She already mentioned that it’s versatile and can be tweaked according to your taste. There’s no one perfect way to do anything. I’ll definitely be trying this out on my next grocery trip!
Finally, someone with common sense!
I second the common sense. My mother's sisters might cook the exact meal and it always tasted differently based on the husbands' and children's tastes.
All true. But they don’t call it marinara and usually opt for a lot less garlic.
My Neapolitan mother didn't use garlic or oregano. She used onions and basil. Was delicious. As a child I was skinny and wouldn't eat but I loved her marinara sauce. So I'd come home from school for lunch and there'd be ravioli with that sauce because then, I'd eat. I can still taste it.
what a sweet memory...thanks for sharing it :)
Same here, napolitana. Onions & basil yum.
Authentic Italian marinara sauce is garlic only, like our Chef here did. Oregano or Basil can be simmered in but never both at the same time.
Marinara sauce can be made with onions ONLY but the usage is limited.
But never ever both garlic and onions , the marinara will hit back on Spanish Mexican cuisine flavors as they always use onions and garlic together in all their sauces 🌶
@@xiaotuzi.fnb1 In our family, from my Neopolitin mom, it was onions and Basil. There's another Neapolitan commenter also had the same. We are Neapolitan and Tuscan. Maybe you're Sicilian.
@@xiaotuzi.fnb1I’ve had it with onion many times in different parts of Italy. It’s never called marinara though. Sugo di pomodoro or sometimes salsa di pomodoro. Pomarola is another version with tomato, celery, onions and carrots all slow cooked and passed through a food mill.
Please share more of your heritage & recipes~so many old but faithful, delicious mama made recipes get lost.
Had no idea sauce was that easy. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your delicious pasta sauce, Lisa. I love your channel and your Italian heritage. All my Grandparents are from Calabria and I have so many beautiful memories of growing up near them. My Mom was an excellent cook and a beautiful woman who worked so hard all her life and she passed away last March 29 at 99 years old. I wish I would have written down more of what she told me over my lifetime, but I do feel blessed that I had her for so long. I have her recipes for genetti, scalidi, taralli and many more. She would be loving your channel if she was here right now.
Thank you again! 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Sounds like you have many lovely memories of your mom, Peggy and some of her traditional recipes too...how nice :)
This is wonderful, more Italiana recipes please!
Yes 👍
I remember those Sundays when my mother would have a pot of sauce simmering on the stove all day. My siblings and I (several times a day 😊) would sneak a piece of crusty Italian bread and dip it in the sauce for a tasty treat. Thanks so much Lisa for this walk down memory lane. ❤
love that :)
Purestest yes!!! The 🍅’s are the star of this sauce.
Lol! You said it...they are the star for sure! :)
As I am also Italian, I love and appreciate when you share our wonderful culture via your recipes. Videos like these are my favourites! Thank you, and keep them coming please! 😊
The best of something is usually the simplest.
Thank you for this EZ recipe. I was so impressed with the video I stopped it for a minute and ordered San Marzano tomatoes seeds so I can grow my own then finished watching the rest of the video.
I hate to be a debbie-downer but the reason San marzano tomatoes taste the way they do is because of the volcanic soil in Italy. I'm sure your tomatoes will be tasty regardless. Happy cooking
Yes, the name is where they are grown.
Mix compost with the soil, top dress the mature plant with aged manure and it will taste fabulous!
Volcanic soil is necessary. Can't be replicated at home!
I was taught that origano should only be put in pizza sauce. I hate to disagree with such a beautiful and well- informed woman, but substituting sweet basil instead of origano would make for a better sauce... in my opinion. And adding the basil on top of the pasta serves to reinforce the flavor of the herb that was initially put in the sauce. But the Neopolitans love origano in their sauces while the Sicilians love their basil... and fennel seeds.
It's a matter of taste and training. Either way, you are correct... it's a delicious sauce that puts jarred sauces to shame. I'm glad I found your channel. Grazie mille.
You are right, the recipe varies somewhat from region to region and among individuals. My family is from Calabria and sometimes my mother will add basil instead of oregano or onions as well as garlic or add some anchovy...some Italian cooks are very emphatic about particulars since they like certain recipes done exactly like how they make it...but I like to show how easy it is to make things from scratch and encourage people to cook at home more and make things to their liking ...thanks so much for the visit! :)
Thank you Lisa, this recipe sounds like it would be a warm and welcoming dish and be the star and take centre stage of any occasion. Your home looked just as welcoming and comforting too, so beautiful especially with the tulips!
Keep them coming. Excellent video! Love the Italian touch...thank you!
Thanks, will do!
Yum!! I add a pinch of cinnamon to mine. An elderly Italian woman I met in Prince Rupert taught me that.
Yes, so many twists to this sauce that are tasty :)
No cinnamon
To each his own, Dianne. This Italian grandma added it to hers and it is delicious. Please be more polite. If you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. Have a nice day. @@dianneferraro7969
To each his own Dianne, this Italian grandmother taught me otherwise and it's delicious. Remember, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Have a nice day! @@dianneferraro7969
To each his own. This Italian grandma taught me this and it's divine. The "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all" comes to mind. Have a nice day, Dianne. @@dianneferraro7969
Obviously it originated in Naples. My grandfather called it “gravy” and the smell of this is pure childhood happiness. Great tutorial, Lisa
I make this, and you are right, San Marzano are the absolute best ! I love the freshness and simplicity of it. A very big favorite of mine. 🥰🌱🍀🌷💐💗✝ btw love your lip color
Great recipe and I love the history!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Shantal...hope you have a great weekend
Thanks so much! It sounds very easy and doable, I always thought that it would need to simmer for hours.
That was beautiful, simplicity at it's finest. Thanks
I can't believe I finally found a chef who loves Garlic and much as I do.
Great video!! I could can this up for pizza, I’ve been wanting to have something homemade for my homemade pizzas 🍕, this would be perfect and so simple to make.
When you were adding the oil, it brought back a memory of visiting my husband’s Aunt’s in San Nicola da Crissa, oh my it makes me laugh. One aunt would start the sauce and add olive oil, oil that they made from their olive trees, so the flavour was strong, then the other aunt would add more, by the time it was time to eat there was almost no tomato compared to the oil 😅. I would have to either tilt my bowl to let it drain or add a tone of cheese to soak it up. It was a funny memory. I really loved visiting with them they were so absolutely sweet to us. I hope we get a chance to see them again. Great video Lisa!! Thanks for the great idea 😁
Perfect for pizza!😊
Always! love you sharing your yummy recipes. Marilyn from Michigan
Hi 👋🏻😄 Southeast Michigan here
I love the highly accurate measuring system. About this much and about that much.
haha! the recipe is in the description box :)
@@asimpleseason2616 Sorry, I didn't mean that as critical, I really liked that it wasn't done with so much infinite detail. It seems more realistic and that's how my Mom and Grandmother cooked.
Thanks. I truly enjoy all of your videos. I watch them repeatedly.
I am so glad you enjoy the channel and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead :)
I have a similar recipe from my nephew. I am going to try this way…a little different & sounds marvelous
Yum…can’t wait to make this wonderful, easy marinara sauce! and I so enjoyed that little history of the sauce! Thank you, dear lady! 💕
Exactly how much mother used to make it, but one clove of garlic was enough for us. 😊
Yes, so many delicious variations on this classic :)
How funny. Making your almond cookies right now. Sat down and you have another recipe. My family is enjoying your recipes. Another great video. You are in my happy space. Thanks.
This is the best sauce I have ever made, thank you! I feel like the base is so good and you can just add in anything later on! I like it with LOTS of oregano!! YUM!
Glad you like it!
Oh my goodness girl. I made this last night and it is DELICIOUS. The San Marzano Tomatoes that I found said California, but it also said, Product of Italy. The can contained a lot of juice, so I had to simmer it longer in order to concentrate it. But it was still wonderful. The best I ever made. Thank you. I can't wait to make it again. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you so much. Blessings from Arizona.
I'm so glad you liked it, Joan...it's a favorite sauce at our house...thanks so much for letting me know :)
I can’t wait to try it. More Italian recipes would be greatly appreciated! My Italian husband will thank you!😊
The sauce sounds delicious. I will definitely be making it! Thank you for sharing your Italian recipes and knowledge, I am trying to tap into as much as possible my own Italian heritage and culture, you make it so easy and fun😊
This will be on my list to make for sure! Thanks , Lisa 😊👍🏼😋
Miss, I do not see your name on the article, but I think you are lovely to look at; so pretty and gracious in your demeanor. It is a joy to have access to true Italian dishes, like the ones that you make. Thank you so much and may God always bless you.

It was a useful tip. I like tomatoes and will sure make this sauce. Thanks for sharing!
You deserve much more subscribers .
Yum. Thank you ❤
This is how I’ve made my sauce for decades. It’s brighter and fresher than sauce cooked for hours.
Ciao and thank you for your very nice recipe and Video, which i like to share at Facebook, my father was originated from San Marzano di San Giuseppe in puglia, southern italy, many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃
Thank you for sharing this delightfully simple recipe for marinara, I had to subscribe! :)
I’ve been doing the “garden sauce” for a quick pasta dinner. We love it.
Very, very nice. Simple, too.
Looks Delish! Thank You So Much for Sharing You receipe!!!
You are so welcome, Tricia!
Oh my gosh, Lisa! This looks delicious! My mother’s father was Italian, as were both his parents. Growing up, I didn’t like Italian food at all. I think because they all added ground meat or sausage to it. I’m definitely going to make this. I love how much olive oil & garlic you use. I wonder how many times a week I can get away with serving this! It’s a perfect meal for Lent.
Looks good.
Love it when you share easy & delicious recipes with us..along with so many interesting facts! I never get bored with your videos. :) I will definitely be trying this!

Great recipe. Love the change of lip colour, it suits you and gives a younger version of your beautiful self.
Oh thank you!
And all the plastic plants too
LOL!!@@jwillar6173
I was talking to an Italian friend and he said he never heard of marinara. Mind was blown.
Thank you!!
The gravy’s good today
Excellent.
Share Italian sauces for the love of tasty food and thanks❤.
Gonna use this sauce with some Italian sausage to make baked ziti. So simply and I can tell way better than the store bought stuff; no preservatives et al. This will be my go-to when I need a marinara. Finally some one cooks the garlic correctly; brown garlic is burnt! Thanks!
YumO!!!❤
Great recipe. Thanks. Just subscribed. God Bless you.
A few pieces of anchovy minced added to the sauce is excellent. It cooks down and brings an umami to the flavour that is not fishy. I also add anchovy to my lamb.)
or for us vegetarians use capers
Wonderful
I'm a new subscriber. And I am so looking forward to making this marinara sauce. Thank you for sharing!! ❤❤❤
Welcome and thank you! :)
I think that true Italian food is simple ...
Hi everyone, Italian mum from Italy here. This recipe sounds delicious, and I think it's worth trying. Nevertheless, please, if you want to make it really Italian, please please reduce garlic cloves to one. Italians like just a little bit of garlic - not much. Many Italians actually hate garlic. Moreover, here in Italy you won't find any "marinara sauce" with pasta: instead, you'll find this sauce on a type of pizza called "pizza marinara". You see it yourselves that you can't expect to use the same sauce on a pizza (sauce + dough are baked together) and on pasta (which is already cooked when you add the sauce). Enjoy your cooking! 😊❤
The things that are a constant in these informative videos about making sauce are the use of whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes or Passata and a good quality EVOO.. Then "you do you" afterwards.
Thank you for the information.
Doing your recipe right now and let me tell you… my house smells wonderful!! Thank you for your lovely videos, it’s so good and refreshing to know more women are keeping traditional values alive. It’s exactly what the world, the kids and the families need ❤ sending lots of love from Brazil
Wonderful to hear, Juliane! Try adding a spoonful of sugar or honey to the sauce...it will cut the acidity a bit and level up the flavor...so glad you visited :)
@@asimpleseason2616 Will do!! 🥰 thank you!
Marcella Hazan is the best!
I am from North Italy and we make the sauce with onions when you use onions caramelise them so they are dark to black which makes them sweeter.
Lol, as soon as you said that you could add onions and mushrooms I thought we must be cousins.
I’m a NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!😊
I am also ITALIAN!!!🇮🇹
Thank you for sharing your recipe inspiration!!💚🤍❤️
Welcome!! And thanks for visiting :)
Looks delish I will trying this recipe it looks quick as well to prepare I often see San marzo can in the market will let you know how it turns out..😊
Please do!
Italians tend to use onion in their marinara with less garlic. They also use plenty of olive oil as you did.
First time I've seen one of your videos. And I'm in lust.
Gotta have a lotta garlic for me. Adore the stuff!❤❤❤❤
I'm with you, Anne lol!
I won't be able to use that much garlic in the sauce this time. Usually buy my garlic from a reliable source. But, bought some from somewhere else, instead. Result is garlic cloves extremely strong & hot!!( Have been only able to use 1 or 2 in recipes.) Will go bac k to my reliable source I guess. Recipe sounds & looks so good, though. Thanks alot for it.

@@patmarkham519 Feel free to adjust to your taste, Pat...cooking is an art and there as many ways to do it as there are cooks :)
It's been several decades since I've bought spaghetti sauce. I did buy a freezer, and cook a couple times a month. I like putting them into glass jars since it tends to discolor plastic containers.
I like the little bit of History within the video
wonderful, and SO pretty.
Man that’s a lot of garlic. Personally, I buy the crushed tomatoes I find they are half the price and taste about the same. I prefer basil in mine, but to each his own. Glad you showing people how easy this is.
I like your recipe. Another benefit is that it doesn't produce a nice glass jar and lid that you hate to waste but don't have a use for.
My mom and grandma would not serve a sauce that only cooked for 15 minutes. They would consider it raw tomatoes. My grandma’s mom was from Naples. Even if I used jar sauce, I add my seasoning, sliced garlic, oregano, onion and basil. Not nearly as much garlic and evoo, as you use. We all cook the way we are taught which makes it regional.
