Today I'm sharing a quick and easy recipe for making your own marinara sauce. You can use this sauce with some whole wheat pasta for a quick weeknight dinner, make a larger amount for your next lasagna, use it for pizza sauce or make a big batch and can it! I'm actually making this to use in a batch of Italian stuffed bell peppers.

Ratatouille is a French dish of stewed vegetables, typically ratatouille includes tomatoes, onion, zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers.

If you make tomato sauce yourself, you can avoid all the additives and preservatives and you control the ingredients.
