Marinara Sauce- Basic
Submitted by: MRS243Introduction
Very tasty sauce. Super easy to make. My grandmother taught me how to make this sauce growing up. I usually make four times this recipe and freeze 3 portions so I always have fresh sauce. So much better than any pre-made sauce you can buy. Very tasty sauce. Super easy to make. My grandmother taught me how to make this sauce growing up.
