Marinara Sauce
Marinara Sauce is a classic Italian sauce. It is made with tomatoes, onion, garlic and herb. It is used in lots of Italian dishes. You can use it in preparing pasta or it can be used as a base sauce for pizza. The sauce is very simple to make. You can cook it ahead of time and store it in the freezer in the air tight container. In my family we love chunky sauce. So I have created the recipe for chunky sauce.
