My Favorite (and SUPER easy) Red Sauce

So this week I am volunteering for the costume crew for a musical called Grand Hotel. It is incredibly exhausting. And the show, in my opinion, is not enjoyable at all. Which means this week will be all around awful. I didn't want to not have any good food to eat during the week because I am so busy. So I made my favorite, quick red sauce to keep in my fridge for dinner for the week.

This red sauce is good with just about everything: add meatballs and simmer for a great spaghetti dish, use as a dipping sauce for polenta sticks, pour on top of chicken for chicken parm, or just buy some ravioli from Trader Joe's and toss it all together and shove it into one's face hole like I did. It will always be delicious.
