Homemade Marinara Dipping in bowl A lot of store-bought and restaurant marinara dipping sauces have an unusual amount of extra ingredients and high levels of sugar. Make your own at home and control what you put in it. I wanted some marinara sauce today but I only diced tomatoes at the ready. I used a stevia sugar mix in place of the sugar. It did just the trick!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 tsp oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can(14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes until tender, stirring frequently.

Mix in diced tomatoes, sugar, oregano and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Use an emersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth, or transfer to a blender and pulse until all the chunks are gone. Serve with bread or cheese sticks.
