I have been making this Marinara recipe for almost 10 years now and it is most definitely a family favorite! I usually double it and it lasts us several months (we eat a lot of Marinara). I love that it makes a huge batch and is freezable. I usually purchase my large can of crushed tomatoes at Costco or Sams. I hope you and your family love it as much as we do!

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until onions are translucent (about 10 mins).
Add the celery, carrots, and salt and pepper. Saute until all veggies are soft (about 10 mins).
Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, basil, red pepper, sugar and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens and veggies are tender (about 1-2 hour).
Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with more salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
Eat immediately or devide into quart size baggies once cooled and freeze.
