Easy Marinara Sauce created by Debs Recipes

A simple and flavorful marinara sauce that can be used instead of store-bought spaghetti sauce. I like it served hot over cooked pasta and topped with fresh-grated Parmesan cheese.

I use this recipe all the time. I use half regular diced tomatoes and half tomatoes with chiles. My son calls it "Spicy Marinara" and always has me put it over penne. It's delicious!

Very good and simple enough to make. The only change I made was to use crushed tomatoes instead of chopped, only because I wanted to use it for dipping and did not want to use a blender. Thanks!

Added some red pepper for a slight bit of heat. Aside from that, i followed the recipe exactly as instructed. Very impressed with the simplicity and final product. P.S....if you play frank Sinatra in the backround while cooking the sauce, it does enhance the flavors. Personal opinion
