I love marinara sauce. I love the combined flavor and taste of basil, oregano and tomatoes. I use it on almost anything. I use it on pasta, on pizza and even as a dipping sauce for breadsticks and pizza crusts. Making marinara sauce at home using this recipe is quite easy. The ingredients are all placed together in a pot and then simmered for half an hour. It’s that simple! Ever since I first made it couple of weeks ago, I never buy the store bought jars anymore. My favorite way of using this flavorful sauce is to dress my spaghetti. Yummy!
