Tomato Marinara

Sure, you can buy marinara premade at the grocery store, but nothing is quite as comforting as homemade tomato sauce simmering on the stove.

If you don’t have avocado oil, feel free to use whatever oil you have on hand like canola or grapeseed. Just be sure to use pasteurized eggs in this recipe since the eggs are raw.
