Personal Notes:
Homemade spicy marinara sauce is super simple sauce that is bursting with rich hearty tomato flavors. Making pasta sauce at home can’t get easier than this. Ditch the jarred stuff homemade is the way to go. It can’t get simpler than this. This is Vegan but I bet meatballs would be good with this sauce.
