Marinara
Nothing beats making your own sauce. Perfect for your favourite pasta, or use use as a base for other dishes like chilli. I often make large batches and portion and freeze it in freezer bags. That way I always have some on hand. Turn it into a tasty bolognese by adding cooked ground beef or…
