marinara sauce with spinach

I made this marinara to make lasagna. My mother was here and thought that it was so good and wanted the recipe. 

1 onion, fine diced
2 large cloves of garlic, diced
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes (you can use the one with basil added) and about 1/4 cup of water to rinse the can
1 bag of spinach
olive oil
1/2 tsp italian seasoning/basil (or whatever herbs you want)
salt and pepper to taste
parmigiana regiano

  • heat oil in a pan on medium heat
  • saute onions until a little brown and tender
  • add garlic right before adding the spinach 
  • add spinach in batches and saute until wilted
  • add crushed tomatoes, water, herbs, salt and pepper, and the parmigiana regiano
  • when the sauce is bubbling, cover and simmer for 30 minutes
  • uncover and cook about 20 minutes more to thicken up the sauce
Serve over pasta, in lasagna, or whatever you would like. Enjoy.
