I was going through some of my Mother’s boxes and I ran across an envelope full of my Nana’s (I am half Sicilian FYI) old school recipes. I thought this was really cool as I had recently discovered my love for cooking. So I jumped right on it and made a few of them OMG they came out great. So here you go here is one of here awesome recipes… My Nana’s Marinara Sauce!
