For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste when sautéing the garlic. This will deepen the umami notes in the sauce. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried, use 3 times the amount. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the sauce to a regular blender in batches, being cautious of the hot liquid. Alternatively, leave the sauce chunky. This marinara sauce is excellent served with pasta, as a base for pizza, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. It also freezes well for future use. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A touch of sugar can balance the acidity of the tomatoes if desired.
