@Amanda G. and Sayward- I don’t make my marinara starting from fresh tomatoes, but I make it with canned crushed tomatoes with the recipe from Veganomicon. It is simple, easy, and generally cheaper than buying it in a jar. I *think* (I make it like… once a week, so I SHOULD know…) it involves sauteeing 4 cloves of chopped garlic in olive oil, adding a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes, with 1/4 tsp each of salt, oregano and thyme (I think the recipe calls for more salt but my canned tomatoes seem to have enough salt in ‘em), then simmer for some amount of time. 15 or 10 minutes. If I have any I add a splash of red wine or balsamic, and sometimes fun stuff like olives or sauteed veggies.

@ Amanda G – Oh man, I still use jarred myself! It’s one of the few things I still buy pre-made, probably because I eat it so infrequently. But the Trader Joe’s basil marinara is vegan, organic, cheap, and soooo delicious. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!

That looks awesome! Do you have any tips on making marinara? I don’t think I want to use canned anymore.

@ Tenise Rae (and others!) – I cook it cut side down so that it 1) keeps the moisture in, and 2) keeps the flesh from charring. But honestly, I don’t think it matters too much! =D

@ Meghan – CONGRATULATIONS SO EXCITING!!!11

You should take the door off the microwave and plant herbs in it. =)

Hey! I don’t have a microwave either! Aaron and I are finally buying a house in TWO WEEKS though, and it comes with one. I’m not sure that it is worth the effort to remove it, it is attached to the cabinets above the stove.
