Quick Marinara Sauce

Submitted by: FOODIEWIFE

Introduction

I try to buy San Marzano crushed tomatoes, because they have such a great flavor. When I make this recipe, I divide half the marinara sauce to save as a pizza sauce.

When I want spaghetti bolognese, I simply brown and drain lean ground beef and add to the sauce.
