I went searching for a Marinara recipe that I could use to replace the store bought stuff. I figured that any decent recipe would have to simmer all day & ultimately take up a lot of time to make. I was found this recipe on SkinnyTaste.com (one of my favorite sites). It is fast & simple to make, very healthy and delicious. Since the first time I made it, I've refused to go back to any store bought pasta sauce. From scratch tastes so much better & the fact that it is so quick to make is a big plus.
