Quick and Easy Marinara Sauce
So I know I have shared my passion for cooking and cook books. I love complex meals but I love quick and easy ones too.
When I was a kid I learned a very basic sauce my Aunt Jo use to make. Yesterday I decided to build on it and put it in a crock pot to simmer and cook for 5 hours. Yes anyone can make it and use it for sausage sandwiches, spaghetti, and whatever else you can think of.
4 12ozCans of Tomato Sauce
1 8oz can of Tomato Paste
2 Tsps of Paprika
4 Tsps of Italian Seasoning (at least LOL)
2 cloves of chopped garlic
1 chopped bell pepper
1 cup of chopped baby bella mushrooms.
Use the seasonings as much or as little as you desire. I like it WELL seasoned but not real salty. So I did not add any salt, nor did I add sugar to sweeten it.
I have a ton of left over spaghetti for dinner tonight also LOL
Have fun!
