Basic Italian tomato sauce – marinara

 Basic tomato sauce marinara

Simple, fast, inexpensive and tastes better than just about anything that can be purchased.  A thick rich flavorful tomato sauce that forms the basis of other things Italian.  Once you’ve made the sauce here’s a great use for it, lasagna.  Although the sauce itself is so good by itself, you’ll need to stop yourself from eating it straight out of the pot.
