Basic Marinara Sauce

This is my basic version of a marinara sauce. I prefer making it with fresh tomatoes but sadly I couldn’t find some good-looking tomatoes to bring home. I made this one with canned whole tomatoes. The sugar in the recipe is to cut out the acidity of the canned tomatoes. If you make a big batch you can freeze it and use it later, having the amazing taste of fresh marinara sauce even in winter. So hop on and try something new! Hope you guys enjoy it.
