Classic Marinara Sauce

There's nothing worse than a flavorless marinara sauce when it comes to pasta. Imagine a lack-luster lasagna, or spaghetti and meatballs without the zing of sauce made with fresh ingredients. When cooking, no one is looking for blah taste, they are looking for the bigger, better, tastier versions of everything. So stop using store-bought sauce, and start making homemade sauce that you can freeze into portions perfect for all of your favorite Italian dishes!
