Webslinger's Tangy Sweet Basil Marinara Sauce image

I can't remember where I found this basic recipe, but I tweaked it into a wonderful, zippy marinara sauce. I use it mostly for meatball subs, but it's also incredible spread over perfect, al dente pasta! I encourage you to try it exactly as the recipe desribes. I hope you enjoy it!
