Garlic Parmesan Marinara

Ingredients:

10 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbs. olive oil

1 c. chopped parsley

2 (14.5 oz.) cans diced Hunt's tomatoes, basil garlic and oregano

1 Tbs. garlic salt

1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. fresh cracked pepper

Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 2 minutes so that the garlic starts to get golden. Add the cans of tomato, parsley, garlic salt and cracked pepper. Stir together and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir. Remove the sauce from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. 

Pour the sauce into a blender. Blend on low speed until the sauce is a smooth consistency. 

Place the sauce back on the heat until everything is warmed through again. 

Add to your favorite pasta dish or let cool fully and freeze in small containers.
