The Best Marinara Sauce

1 review

I developed this marinara sauce recipe with a friend to make the most of a bumper crop of tomatoes.

Knowing this sauce is made from the heart with the best possible ingredients makes me feel good about giving it to my family and friends. —Shannon Norris, Cudahy, Wisconsin
