Single Serving Marinara Sauce

This is a versatile marinara sauce that I pretty much put in/on everything. It goes great with pasta, mozzarella sticks, meatballs and breadsticks. I also will reduce it for a super simple and tomato-y pizza sauce! This version of the sauce is a single serving batch that generally makes about 1 pint of sauce, however, the quantity will depend on how much the sauce is reduced.
