Recipe of the Week, Infused Marinara Sauce

This simple cannabis infused marinara is easy to create at home. Its much cheaper and tastier than store bought marinara sauce, with the added reward of it being infused with THC. I love using this infused sauce on pastas, pizzas, or as a dipping sauce!

With just a few key ingredients, you will have an amazing (yet, simple) homemade cannabis infused marinara sauce. For this recipe you will need…

Ingredients

  • Southern Sky Brands cannabis infused olive oil
  • olive oil non-infused for sautéing
  • onion minced
  • garlic cloves minced
  • tomato paste
  • canned tomatoes
  • salt
  • sugar
  • pepper
  • bay leaf
  • oregano
  • fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Sauté Veggies: In a medium size pot, heat the olive oil over low/medium heat and add in onions (sweating the onions until soft). Add in the garlic and continue to cook over low/medium heat for ~5 mins, or until they become soften and translucent. Once garlic is about done sweating, add in the tomato paste to the hot oil and cook for ~2 mins.
  2. Add Canned Tomatoes & Seasoning: Mix in the canned tomatoes and allow mixture to gently simmer. Add in bay leaf, oregano, and rosemary, into the tomato sauce. Add salt and pepper to your taste and a pinch of sugar. Partially cover with a lid and turn down the heat to a low. Allow sauce to simmer and reduce for at least 3 hours, stirring every once in a while.
  3. Remove for Heat: Once your sauce has reduced for at least 3 hours remove from heat and remove the bay leaf and rosemary. Add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Infuse with THC: While the marinara sauce is still hot, add in the cannabis infused olive oil and mix well.
