Maryann’s Simple Pasta Sauce

A tasty tomato sauce is fantastic over pasta, chicken, tofu, or veggies. It can also be used when making a homemade pizza, a casserole, and a host of other dishes. In the past, when I was on a time crunch, I would often reach for my favorite over-the-counter purchased pasta sauce. However, reading store labels, I found that frequently, these sauces have quite a lot of sugar, oil, and salt. Yikes! I like to keep it simple, clean, and quick. Here’s my solution — a sauce you can make in under 30 minutes! Enjoy!
