Recipe Introduction
This is very good poured over chicken then baked until the juices run clear.
I add shredded Swiss cheese on top during the last 2 minutes of baking.
I make this for my hubby and he loves it.
When cooking any recipe it is important to start out with quality ingredients.
It is easy to understand that when you start our with good ingredients and
treat them with care your finished product will be of a higher quality.
That being said a basic tomato sauce or marinara sauce is an excellent example.
Try several different types of tomatoes until you find the best canned tomatoes
available in your area.
Other ingredients such as the olive oil, and sun dried tomatoes and fresh herbs
will have a big impact on the sauce you prepare.
