7 Ingredient marinara recipe
As delicious as homemade marinara is, not all of us have a few hours to sit by the stove as our sauce simmers and thickens with style and grace. In fact, some of us are lucky if we even get 20 minutes to cook, prepare and eat our meals! However, don't let time be the reason you resort to store-bought Prego when you really want a Giada-style sauce. Instead, whip up this super quick and delicious, seven-ingredient marinara next time it's pasta night!
There are really only 7 ingredients in that delicious looking sauce, which makes it not only easy, but super budget friendly too. Plus, you can freeze extra sauce so you'll never run out! (Unless you're in my house where it's put on everything.) So maybe make two batches instead of one... trust me, it's that good.
