Simple Tomato Marinara Sauce
This sauce is amazing and I don’t just mean the flavor. It’s multipurpose and can be used for so many dishes. We put it on our pizza, pasta, chicken parm or use it as a dip. My personal favorite is spaghetti squash. Yum!
The best part about this soup is it’s very inexpensive to make! A 23 ounce jar of Organic Tomato Basil Sauce at our local grocery store is around $3-$4 while 23 ounces of this sauce costs us $1.90. That’s a lot of money saved and you are making fresh, homemade sauce that will absolutely taste better than any canned sauce! Perfect for feeding a lot of people or freezing for nights you don’t want to cook. Just boil some pasta and you’re done!
I LOVE how easy and delicious this tomato sauce is. It’s definitely a staple in our home. I hope you enjoy it too!
