Marinara Sauce
(from cscnfa’s recipe box)
This sauce can be used for almost anything that requires a tomato sauce: spaghetti, lasagna, stuffed shells, baked ziti, etc. You could make spaghetti one night, and then dress up the sauce with some meat, brown sugar or molasses, mustard, green pepper, etc. to make sloppy joes the next.
NOTE: I always add ground beef to this recipe.
