Tasty Tuesdays! Quick Marinara

Heeeeey Everybody and how was your valentines? 

Did you just relax and stay in or did you go out?

Well Here is a recipe that I've developed a long time ago, even before going to culinary school. Its something that I use for all of my pasta recipes and the kids love it. I use it from spaghetti, to lasagna, to chicken parmesan. I even mix some with my Alfredo for a delicious rose sauce. 

Before we go into the recipe, here is a tip.
Even though there are measurements a lot of spices are to taste and can always be adjusted. 

Here is my go to Marinara.
