Recipe Search: Marinara Sauce

[switch842]

Does anyone have a good recipe for a good but simple marinara sauce? I hate making pasta cos I just don't like any of the jarred sauces in the store. Something light, I don't like chunky tomatoes, something easy that preferably doesn't have to simmer all day. LOL

Thanks!

I can't help you with marinara sauce cuz I've never figured that one out myself, but since you're looking because you want to make pasta, are you interested in pesto at all? It's super easy and quick (throw the 5 ingredients in the food processor and blend), full of flavor (whenever I bring leftovers to school, I invariably get a "that smells delicious!" comment), and I make a ton at a time and freeze it-so that when I need a quick dinner, I can just cook the pasta (and chicken, broccoli, or whatever I want to throw in it), pull out the frozen pesto, and voila! Of course, if you aren't a basil fan, it won't work, but I thought I'd toss the idea out there. I will be checking back to see if anyone has any good marinara recipes though, because I'd love to try that!

Yeah, not a huge fan of pesto. I think it's OK but hubby is definitely NO on that.

Oh well, it was a thought!
