Quarantine Pantry Craving. Tuscan tomato sauce is one of our family's favorite the ingredients are easy to find and can be served with any type of pasta. We love it with spaghetti. I like to make a large batch and freeze it.

In times like these with those simple quintessential pantry ingredients you can create my Grandma's magic in less then 45 minutes (especially if you haven't forgotten to soak them the night before).
