The Dinner: A Love Story cookbook has a great recipe. (The whole book is great, IMO!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own/page/2#post-1390798 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:57:05 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1390798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: that is something id like to learn!

Both. If I'm in a quick pinch, I'll use ready made, but I try to always make mine from scratch!

SO SO good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390654 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:18:01 +0000 edelweiss 1390654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>either--if i'm making lasagna, i definitely buy because it's already a time-consuming recipe. otherwise i usually make it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390640 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:15:04 +0000 buffalove 1390640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make it in big batches and freeze. My MIL taught me how to make sauce and meatballs before I was even engaged to DH... I joke that he probably wouldn't have proposed if I hadn't passed the sauce test!</p> <p>I do also keep one jar of store-bought in the pantry for one dish that just tastes better with this local brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390612 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:08:55 +0000 kjpugs 1390612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sensitive to them being too acidic. I buy vodka sauce at the store, but loving making our own with carrots in it that cuts the acidity enough. It's been forever since I have made it though- it is ambitious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390610 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:08:10 +0000 rattles 1390610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy and doctor it with meat/mushrooms/etc. My Sicilian inlaws would never approve, but while I'd like to learn to make their family recipe, for now this is just easier and faster. It's on my regular weeknight rotation because it's easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390569 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:54:25 +0000 Beyond2 1390569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make sauce once a year totally from scratch when we grow all the ingredients in our garden. Then I can all the sauce I'll need for the next year. So in my day to day it's convenience canned sauce but it's totally homemade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390472 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:29:26 +0000 coopsmama 1390472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Pizza we do more often so will definitely be using it -- probably within the next week or so. I'll be sure to add plenty of garlic. (Side note: garlic is one of the smells I can barely tolerate while in the dreaded nausea/MS stage of pregnancy...so glad to be 18 weeks and moving out of that! I missed garlic in my cooking. Such a bummer to go months without it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390469 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:28:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 1390469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: sounds like I need to meet your nana! Seriously, mine is always gross.</p> <p>@looch: lol, I'm sure it's not. I think it's just one of those things, like browning pork chops, that I'm just not that good at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390464 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:27:05 +0000 Andrea 1390464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390461 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:26:02 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1390461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: it's a good pizza topping too! We make deep dish pizza &amp; use that sauce recipe. ITS SO DELICIOUS. I love garlic so we are pretty generous with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-marinara-sauce-from-the-store-or-make-your-own#post-1390457 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:24:47 +0000 coopsmama 1390457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Oh thanks for sharing!

We add oregano and basil to taste. </p> <p>It's really good over whole wheat linguine. I use the same recipe (but with petite diced) to make bruschetta topping! </p>
