This is flat-out the best danged "go-to" marinara sauce I've ever made. It's perfectly balanced, (or can be sweetened a tad bit with a splash of red wine if the tomatoes are a bit too acidic), yet tangy, and I love the yummy taste of the fresh herbs straight out of my garden. <br /> <br />This is a staple for just serving on pasta, or for assembling chicken/veal/eggplant parmigiana, lasagna, or even as a an awesome base for a batch of creamy tomato basil soup.<br /> <br />I made up a big batch and canned what wasn't eaten at dinner so that I always have it on hand.<br /> <br />LOVE it! Thank you, thank you for sharing this, Ralph's Restaurant! A star in your crown for this one!
