After making the "Marinara Sauce" (page 194), I see no need to purchase canned or jarred marinara ever again. This recipe is ridiculously quick and easy, made with ingredients you can find in any grocery store, namely canned crushed tomatoes, garlic, and fresh or dried spices. The sauce ends up tasting like something that simmered all day, when in reality you simmer for a mere 15 minutes. I did not cook the garlic in oil as instructed in the recipe, I simply added it in along with the other spices. Try this! It may become your new favorite marinara, too! Hint - use the highest quality crushed tomatoes available for the richest flavor.
this one is wonderful..it's on the stove right now! I used italian peeled roma tomatoes!!!
