Homemade marinara sauce

Recipe #21: Homemade marinara sauce

I am ashamed to admit that I do not make my own red sauce. Even when I make lasagna, the sauce comes from a jar. But, I was happy to find that making my own sauce was not only very easy and tasty, but it was also cheaper than using the jarred crap, because I bought a case of canned tomatoes during a case-lot sale a while back.

I didn't have a bay leaf and I ended up adding some sugar and oregano, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I garnished my pasta with chunks of fresh mozzarella, which got nice and melty (is that a word?) after a couple minutes. We ate it alongside some roasted broccoli for a semi-healthy meatless meal.
