Spaghetti Sauce - Marinara Sauce
When I cook, it’s never an exact science so these will just be *suggested amounts*. So, if you are looking for a simple recipe to throw on top of some macaroni for a quick dinner or even let simmer all day with meatballs, sausage or, like my grandmothers did, throw in any leftover meat in the frig, then this is a great recipe for that.
This should be enough for 2 meals so take the rest and freeze for an quick and easy second meal.
