This is my go to marinara that I use for Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna, or to serve over pasta or spaghetti squash. The flavor of this sauce enhances as it sits, so often I will make it a day ahead of when I am serving, refrigerate, and reheat. You can also add ground meat to make this a Bolognese Sauce.
To make this #dinnerdoneby9am I make the sauce in the morning, refrigerate all day, then reheat prior to serving.
