Today's recipe is one of our faves! I grow most of the ingredients in my garden, its easy, my family loves it and so far everyone I have made it for loves it as well! The aroma that fills your home...YUM!!

It's called: Marinara! We make it to cover angel hair pasta and serve it with meatballs or I will just make the sauce and use it to make pizza's! No more spaghetti from a jar when you have this puppy! (OK...so I do use jarred spaghetti sauce for some recipes as it is easy in a pinch. But we NEVER use it for actual spaghetti sauce!)

First in a medium sized sauce pan pour in about a pancake sized portion of olive oil. Turn heat on to medium.



Toss your onions into the heated oil and cook about 5 minutes or till fragrant and translucent!
Next is a can of crushed tomatoes! AND I use about 10-12 leaves of fresh basil (yummy!!)
Mix in with the sauteed onions and I also love to add in a large bowl full of meatballs! (I use the bag of meatballs from Costco. They are pre-cooked and frozen...so I thaw a large bowl full in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes) You will let this simmer on medium-low for 35 minutes.



We like to serve ours over angel hair pasta and make garlic bread to go with! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!! Happy eating!!
