Mariana Sauce

Olive Oil Spray
1 cup minced yellow or white onion
2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoon basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste (optional)















































































Process: Spray the medium nonstick pan with the olive oil and spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until just becoming tender. Reduce the heat to low and with a wooden spoon stir in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste, honey, oregano, basil, and pepper flakes until well combined. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour. Season with salt, if needed.

Wonder: We are growing our herbs to show/promote a more sustainable living. This shows people that they don't even have to leave the home to go and shop for some herbs to cook with. They can just grow some at home and cook with those. That way not only are they living more sustainably, but they also saving gas. We cooked our herbs for fun, but you could do anything with your herbs.

Reflection: My marinara sauce actually tasted good. I actually ended up making spaghetti, but I ran out of photo's so I couldn't take pictures of that process. I got this recipe from my mom's "Biggest Loser Family Cookbook". Something I would of done differently is I would had added so much can crushed tomatoes. It looked kind of watery. But over all, it was pretty good. Cooking with my own herbs has inspired me to not only cook more, but also to make a garden with my own herbs.
