Introduction

This simple, garlicky marinara is great for your favourite pasta, but my preferred way to eat it is over a bed of roasted cauliflower and grilled shrimp. By pressure canning the sauce you don't have to add acid, which throws off the flavour balance IMHO. Freeze and thaw your tomatoes for the ultimate concentration of flavour with less cook down time!

Ingredients

    4 ½ lbs fresh tomatoes, frozen, thawed and drained
    ½ cup water

    1 tbsp basil
    1 tsp oregano
    1 tsp dried parsley

Directions

Combine tomatoes, water, garlic and onion in a large pot. Bring to a brisk simmer and cook, uncovered, 20 minutes or until everything is soft.
