Marinara Sauce

Got this years and years ago and "lost" it in my files. Found it last summer and have been using it ever since. Best with fresh herbs but I use dried when my garden is dormant. Use fresh garlic though! It isn't the same without it! The original recipe called for pureeing all the ingredients in a food processor. We like it better unprocessed with petite diced tomatoes. We also add 1 lb ground beef before simmering. My family is very carnivorous!
