Homemade Marinara is such a quick and easy sauce to make. I rarely use ready made jars as I find them far too salty. There is nothing like the freshness of a homemade sauce and best of all this one can be made in advance and kept in a lidded jar in the fridge or frozen. Just double, triple the recipe if you want to make a larger quantity. This is not just delicious for your little ones, but is great or the whole family.
