Lazybones Marinara Sauce

Lazybones Marinara Sauce

I always try to have some of this easy-to make marinara sauce

on hand. It freezes well and so I put 2 cup measures in

freezer baggies to add to pasta, soups and even as pizza sauce.

Don’t forget to clearly label the bags.

Prep time: 15-20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 mins-1 hour
