You’ve got to try this simple tomato sauce! Rich, fresh and deeply satisfying flavor! In a word…it’s heavenly! If you’ve used bottled marinara sauce, you’ll know that tastes artificial, highly sweetened, and loaded with preservatives. Compare it to this quick and easy homemade sauce, and you’ll wonder why you ever used anything else. It’s especially great in the summertime when there’s an abundance of tomatoes at the farmer’s market. But, any other time of the year, it’s perfectly all right to used canned tomatoes. This will still taste fantastic. Make this while you’re boiling water and cooking pasta. You’ll be so happy you did!
