garlic tomato sauce
(1 rating)
After trying to duplicate a sauce from a local Italian restaurant, and tweaking recipes from TV and online; I came up with this. It is my go to pasta sauce. It's quick and easy. In the summer, I make it with my fresh, home grown basil. It's great to make ahead of time (it's even better next day.) And, it keeps well.
