Italian Pasta Sauce
This is my Nonna's Italian Pasta Sauce recipe and it is filled with fresh herbs and San Marzano tomatoes. The addition of carrots gives the sauce the perfect amount of sweetness without needing sugar. This tomato sauce recipe goes great with your favorite type of pasta and is the ideal Sunday meal.
