    I swear people forget to pay attention to what is said in these videos, but they don't forget to criticize when they weren't paying attention. This guy is absolutely correct about the tomatoes. If you use fresh tomatoes, they are probably local and maybe even from your own garden. They are likely to be more acidic so you'll have to add some sugar to your sauce to combat that acidity. And whether your fresh tomatoes are acidic or not, you still have to peel them, crush them, and remove the seeds. Why do all that work for little if any benefit when you can buy canned crushed tomatoes. They are picked , crushed, and canned at the peak of ripeness. All the work is done for you and there are plenty of varieties (San Marzano being one example) that are not acidic at all so no sugar is needed.
    Now on to the garlic. Another part where many of you didn't pay attention. He said he wanted to get a little color on the garlic, not burn it, and that's exactly what he did. Browning the garlic a bit obviously adds a flavor dimension. Then he turned down the heat and added the onions to sweat them. The onions cannot be added first, or both at the same time (how I do it) if you want a little color on the garlic.
    There are many different ways to cook. When you encounter a method, cooking style, or a step that you don't personally do that doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just different. So why criticize?

      This is just wrong, sugar has never been a part of real Italian Marinara. My family is very Italian, while fresh tomatoes are acidic, the reason is because of the stems, not the tomato flesh. If you pull out the stems of the tomato there is nothing acidic in them. Also a true Italian marinara should simmer for at least 2 hours. Please don't try and mangle a traditional sauce with an extremely delicate taste s it appeals to Americans.

    Since the garlic is chopped into smaller pieces it does brown quicker, but if you add the onions as soon as the garlic begins to brown it will not get burned.

      +LearnToCook nice little recipe! :)
      I would say I'm pretty good already at all the Italian stuff, but I still like to see the tiny little differences that other cooks make.
      For example I start with half the oil and the onions as they need longer and when I add the garlic, I free up a circle in the middle add the remaining oil and give the little guys a fry just till they get colour. tiny bit of sugar on top (I always make a lot of plain tomato sauce from fresh tomatos, as here there is no plain/unspiced tomato pasata or any kind of prepared tomato-stuff without gross additives) and then dash of red wine.
      also didn't know the thing about fresh vs. dried - mainly use fresh herbs (again cause I have to grow them myself to have any) and the only reason I put them in the end was so they don't get to "glibbery" but hey - I learn something new everyday!

    I've been trying to perfect a "gravy" or marinara sauce for over 10 years.
    The single most effective thing I've learned is this: Make it the day before, let it sit in the fridge overnight and then reheat it when needed. (not in a reactive pan/pot, transfer it to something ceramic or glass)
    The flavors develop, the harshness of the acidity mellows out, it get's a little sweeter (with no sugar added), and overall just gets a nice rounder flavor profile. I've tried so many different ways of trying to get the same results on the same day, even slow cooking a sauce for 3-4 hours, etc. Nothing works like letting it sit in in the fridge overnight. (BTW, same goes for stews)

    I'm a retired chef who worked primarily in French kitchens but enjoy cooking Italian cuisine at home. In my elusive search for the perfect marinara sauce I've read 1000's of recipes.This one is pretty much exactly how I would write a marinara recipe but I can tell you with confidence that the quality of the finished product is 95+ percent related to the quality of the canned tomatoes used. This chef is using 6 in l Ground Tomatoes from Escalon. This is a California tomato product that is sold almost exclusively to the foodservice industry. This company, along with their competitor, Stanislaus Food Products, packs, in my opinion, the best canned or aseptic packed (like Pomi) tomato products available in the US. That includes D.O.P. certified San Marzano whole plum tomatoes.Sadly, they are hard to find in retail stores although Restaurant Depot & Amazon sells them. But in my local RD only in the large #10 can.

    Why would you cook garlic before the onions when The Onion's take longer to cook ?

    can this sauce be used for chicken parm? I've been looking for a good sauce to pair up with my chicken parm recipe and I found this one. Are there any recipe limitations for the sauce?

      +Stephanie Calderon Yes, you can use the sauce for chicken parmesan and also for any other dish you want. You are not limited to any dish in particular.
