Kelly's Marinara Sauce

45

In order to make those Eggs with Peppers and Tomato Cream (see the linked recipe below), Sean made this marinara sauce first. It was quite quick and easy to put together, and very tasty. Next time when you need marinara sauce in your cooking, instead of store-bought one, make this no-fuss and delicious sauce, and you will be surprised by how flavorful it tastes.
