Doctored-Up Store Bought Marinara Sauce, Tastes Like Homemade
"Pasta is a staple food for any kitchen. It is inexpensive and filling. Not many of us have time to start marinara sauce from scratch so this recipe allows you to use a store bought sauce and then add your own spin to it. It is easy to make and freezes well. I use it for anything from spaghetti, manacotti, lasagna to chicken parmesan."

This is so easy -- could use whatever your family liked to jazz up the blander stuff. Instead of Prego, could even use this to spce up plain old tomato sauce in a can if you didn't have any spaghetti sauce. Thanks for sharing!!!
