A simple homemade recipe for a classic marinara sauce. Be sure to buy cans of puree that only use San Marzano tomatoes (basically any kind of plum tomatoes). We recommend using Cento Tomato Sauce or something similar. This is an excellent sauce for making pizzas like with our homemade pepperoni pizza, a great dipping sauce for fried chicken tenders or ground chicken meatballs or with your favorite pasta.
