Made with fresh tomatoes, this marinara sauce is perfect for any dish that requires it.
Mi Tía Rosa makes the most scrumptious marinara sauce; She grows her own tomatoes during the summer and then prepares this delicious sauce that you can freeze and save for months.
This sauce can be used in the preparation of many recipes, actually a couple of days ago, we made homemade pizza and we used this sauce…OMG!
The fresh tomatoes… the fresh garlic….Delicioso!

Yummy! This looks delicious and really easy to make. I want to start doing my own vs buying the jar version.
I would never go back to store-bought version unless is an emergency ? thanks for the comment
I love the addition of red wine to the sauce! I’ve never made homemade marinara sauce, but I think I’m going to try this recipe soon. I’ve been wanting to make pizza at home, and this sounds too good.
I’m actually posting a recipe of the most easy semi-homemade pizza that you can make. Stay Tune!
Your sauce sounds delicious!
