I used to make my own marinara sauce, and was proud of my recipe. Then Prego came out with a sauce came in a jar that was every bit as good, so I used that. Now there’s lots of choices on the market shelf. Every now and then I ruffle through my recipes, and I found this today. My old marinara sauce!
