As always, this originated as one of my mother's recipes. Homemade marinara sauce is so much easier than most people think! This recipe is simple, and it's great to whip up fresh for other recipes, or simply on top of pasta! NOTE: This sauce can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 2 months. It's a good sauce to keep on hand frozen if you make a bulk batch!
