Marinara Sauce

Please follow Deliciously Inspired on Bloglovin

This recipe came about because I was making 2 pans of  Brown Rice Pasta Lasagna for a family dinner and needed marinara sauce. While at the grocery store I read the label off the brand I usually used and was disappointed that sugar was one of the first ingredients and that soy products were used.  

Marinara Sauce

I was happy to see that my grocery store had a brand that didn’t contain these ingredients but at $8.00 a quart, the lasagna became quite pricey.  So I decided to make my own at a fraction of the price.  

Marinara Sauce
Marinara sauce is not meant to be a long simmering sauce. It is fast and perfect for serving over pasta or can be used when making an italian dish.
