Made this to use as a dip with toasted ravioli #59907. Very good for a quick and easy recipe. Thanks Dicewoman. Bullwinkle

Delicious! I've been wanting a homemade marinara sauce to serve with chicken parmesan & I've finally found it! No more store bought spaghetti sauce-this is easier, more economical & tastier. I accidently used 1 tsp oregano & 1/4 tsp basil, which worked fine. I would suggest simmering the sauce for around 30 min-it thickens the sauce & blends the flavors better that way. I also used 1 tsp dried minced garlic from a jar, which worked fine as well; gave it a great garlicky flavor. Thanks, Dicewoman!

Absolutely awesome! Just got through with dinner...I made canelloni and topped them with this sauce and my hubby looooooved the sauce! he says its better than the normal marinara sauce we usually buy. Only made one small change....instead of canned tomato sauce, I used 5 oven roasted tomatos (I just put 5 Roma tomatos in a cookie sheet in the oven and then pureed them). Grrrrrrreat!

This was good, but I used 8 oz of tomato sauce and 8 oz of petite diced tomatoes. I also simmered for 30 min to let the flavors blend. I didn't have rosemary or an onion (I did used dried chopped onions, though) and it was still excellent!

This was so easy and had an excellent flavor. I used 3 cloves of minced garlic and added a can of whole tomatoes (in addition to the can of tomato sauce). I omitted the sugar and olive oil. I used the sauce on top of whole wheat rotini and topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese. It was fantastic. I will definitely make again. Oh, the kids like it, too!

I was in the middle of a OAMC spree, and had everything planned out that I was making. Well, I forgot and dumped all my jarred sauce into my cooked ground meat. I needed pasta sauce to spoon on top of Marvellous Mini Meatloaves (With Options!) OAMC. So I whipped this up in a flash. My only change to the recipe was to add 1/2 teaspoon of beef bouillion. It made the sauce taste like it had been simmering all day without allow it to sit at all! Veggie bouillion would probably do the same! Thanks for a WONDERFUL go to recipe!
