If you are looking for a delicious pasta dish, this sauce will make it spectacular! Marinara Sauce is a huge staple at our house. You can make this sauce with meat or without. It’s hearty, comforting and packed with vegetables. This makes a huge batch. It freezes well, and can be used in SO many different dishes! Besides a regular pasta dish, we also love to use it in Baked Rigatoni, Pizza Bites, Pizza Roll Ups, French Bread Pizza Sandwiches or even in soups! It’s amazing served with our Greek Salad or Antipasto Salad with one of our Dinner Rolls on the side.
