Looks amazing! Quick Question- did you make the tomato Puree at home? If so, How?
Thanks,
Thanks Bhumi! yes made at home, just blend the ripen tomatoes into the blender and make puree.
Totally agree, homemade marinara sauce is the best! I’ve made couple of batches of marinara to freeze while I was pregnant, and it was a life saver! Next time, I’ll try your recipe. It looks amazing! Your photography is stunning, Binjal!
