This is actually a 5 star recipe for an Italian Marinara Sauce blend, but for some reason my Chromebook is not allowing me to register that. Anyway, I’ve been making my own Sauces for 50+ years so I I’m used to “eye-balling” my ingredients, especially my Herb & Spice blends. But this time I am going to be sending my SIL the Ingredients to make Manicotti for my Brother (his favorite Dinner, my favorite Brother) for his 75th Birthday, so I felt it was important to get the proportions right — if only for this one special occasion. And this blend did NOT disappoint. I even made a small mix for myself AND Pinned the recipe (for the proportions). I totally recommend.
