I am in love with tomatoes. They are beautiful to look at and incredible to eat. My marinara sauce takes tomatoes to new extremes by enriching their flavor over a simmer with other wonderful ingredients. The smell of it will waft through your house and it will be a recipe you will look forward to making all the time.
This is love…. look at that color!
Tips:
Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned in the summer time… dice them up. If it is not summer, you can use a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes instead
Don’t skimp on the fresh herbs 🙂
