One of the questions that I get asked a lot is if I make soul food, and other time consuming meals everyday of the week. My answer to that question is absolutely not! As a matter of fact during the week, I make quick meals like spaghetti or one pot pasta dishes. A lot of my quick and easy meals call for marinara sauce, which I prefer to make homemade. And I must admit that I make the best ever marinara sauce!

My marinara sauce is made with crushed tomatoes, fresh oregano, basil, garlic, onions, and a dash of red pepper flakes. I use simple seasonings like kosher salt, and coarse black pepper. I also like to add a little bit of vegetable broth to bring the flavors up a notch.

This marinara sauce can be use for spaghetti, a meatball sub, and even pizza! The options are limitless. Be sure to try this recipe, and let me know what you think in the comment section below!
