I normally make Sunday gravy and very rarely make marinara.  This is the best! I may never make gravy again...God rest my Grandmother's soul!

BEST. MARINARA. EVER!!!!!!

Seriously, when I run out of this we don’t have pizza, pasta, or the like until I can make more. This is THE perfect sauce!  

I have been making this for a couple of years now and with a fresh tomato harvest just in from the garden I’m about to again.

I used an immersion blender. Worked perfectly. No splash, no explosion, and lots of control over how chunky we like it. I'll never blend anything hot without it.

I did do the half recipe-used about 11 pounds of tomatoes-still took 5 hours but came out great!

I read an article once that said if your tomatoes stay on the vine for a while after ripening the acid content goes down low enough to be a little risky. Something to remember when making a big batch.
I made the half batch, used the 425 temp and 3 hours. After checking I gave it another hour because there wasn't much liquid cooked off. I suspect if you made it any lower it would take much longer. As it was 8# tomatoes and all other ingredients as listed in the half batch still gave me about 4 quarts of rich sauce.

Love this recipe. It takes a while to make it but it's well worth it.

I'm already making my second big batch of this sauce since you posted the recipe!  It's so good!

8# tomatoes from our garden today. I'd lost my oven roasted sauce recipe and found yours. What a lucky find!  IT IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! the flavor is so rich and intense. And embarrassingly easy! We are thrilled!! Haven't decided how to preserve it. Probably freezer. What type of container would you suggest? One change. I purchase garlic from our coop already peeled. I store it with just enough olive oil to cover it in a jar. I used the garlic and the infused oil in the recipe. I'm sure it's even richer for that addition. Thanks so much!

I just posted but wanted to add this. I fished out about 1/2 cup of skins and blended them just to see if there was a taste difference. We both really liked the taste, and found it rich and tomato-y so I added them back in. I like the sauce a bit chunky rather than smooth, but little bits of rolled up skin have an odd mouth-feel. Next time I'm going to blend them smooth and compare.

Homemade Marinara Sauce 

One bite of Eggplant Parmesan and you'll be sold. 

Eggplant Parmesan

eggplants,

Kosher salt

c. all-purpose flour

eggs,

c. milk (or water)

c. Panko bread crumbs

oregano

c. mozzarella

Vegetable oil,

parsley,

c. extra-virgin olive oil

onion, chopped

garlic, chopped

tomato paste

c. torn basil leaves

black pepper

First time making eggplant! Loved it. I used Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic salt and Italian seasoning for the breading and for my sauce I used leftover pizza sauce I had made two days prior. 
My sauce was homemade, added red pepper chili flakes, bay leaves, fresh Oregano instead of dried
Layered cheeses with ricotta I also had, mozzarella and parm.
Loved it, will make again

I finally found a way to enjoy eggplant! So delicious 😋 Everyone in my family loved it - kids, hubby and parents. Seconds and leftovers were had. Lots of work but worth it.

This is a great recipe because it is really Italian. Most recipes are Italian American. It is like a lasagna though and not a Parma. When I make eggplant Parma, I cut the eggplant long as the chicken would be cut, bread it, etc. The marinara is seasoned right and that makes the dish wonderful. I have no idea why Americans feel the eggplant parma should be like lasagna…does anyone know?

Excellent! But the paper towels kept on getting stuck in my teeth.

THIS! Was. So. GOOD!!!!! Beware, it takes forever to make! But so worth it! Amazing!

I did not like the fried eggplant - it made a weird texture and the flavors overall were not great either. We ended up trying to add more seasonings after it was baked which helped a bit. We won't make this again.

This Is The Only Eggplant Parm Recipe You'll Ever Need

These roll-ups filled with spinach and lemon ricotta and topped with melty mozzarella are WAY easier to make than lasagna. Plus, everyone get their own perfect serving. (No more fighting for the edges!)

Easy Spinach Lasagna Rolls

garlic,

c. basil

Cooking spray

lasagna noodles

(16-oz.) container ricotta

c. Parmesan,

basil,

lemon

c. marinara sauce

How often do you eat pasta during the week?

Very tasty, however the amount of cheese stuffing and sauce is a little less than I'd like.  I planned to do a double recipe and had only enough sauce and cheese filling to do a large baking pan and four extra rolls.  I had leftover noodles, about 5. (However I like alot of stuffing and cheese) Also the cheese on the topping melted and fell to the sides.  That's prob my fault I left a tiny amount of room to easily dish single rolls.  

I really like how easy it is to serve and how easy it is to divide up for lunches and stuff.  My eight year old who is a picky eater loved it.  Will most likely make it again.  Was fun and easy.
