Fresh herbs always make all the difference, and this pasta sauce is no exception. Chopped basil, oregano, and marjoram infuse flavor into a sauce of tomatoes, mushrooms, and onion.

I've made my own sauce before of course but it's never tasted as good as this one! This is my new go to recipe for sure. I used it with pasta and meatballs but next time I'm going to used some sliced italian sausage in it.
