Simple Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce
Serves 8
I have fresh herbs growing out of my ears . . . just kidding of course. But seriously, my herbs are in abundance this year. My tomatoes on the other hand are not doing so well. I developed grubs in my garden. The poor tomato plants look pathetic as ever. So not extra tomatoes for homemade spaghetti sauce this year. I used canned crushed tomatoes instead . . . and the sauce was fabulous. I added tons of fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, oregano and flat leaf parsley to this simple marinara sauce. Now worries for you that don’t have a fresh herb garden, dried herbs work great in this recipe. An easy substitute for the fresh herbs is dried Italian seasoning. A couple tablespoons will spice up this recipe perfectly. I love simple Italian dishes like spaghetti with marinara sauce. Italian food is a favorite at Casa Linda. This makes a quick and easy weeknight meal. Perfect when you don't have a lot of time to cook a big meal. It is hard to believe we are in our final weeks of summer. I hope you are making the most of it. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to follow me on Instagram where I post tons of garden and flower images. Until next time - Bon Appetit, Cecelia

Keeping it simple and easy. With a quick recipe for Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce. I used fresh herbs like basil, oregano, rosemary and parsley. No worries if you don’t have fresh herbs. Simply substitute 1-2 tablespoons of dried Italian seasoning for the fresh herb mixture. I like to use San Marzano crushed tomatoes. If you can find them crushed that is even better. But if you can’t simply pour the tomatoes into a bowl and mash them with your hands or use an hand potato masher. I don’t mind getting my hands messy, so I mash mine by hand.
