Fennel Onion Garlic and Meatball Marinara



































 

 

An ej original recipe!



I think this was one of the best marinara sauces I've ever made! 

The Fennel bulb and onion makes it's so thick and rich. 

It taste like all day cooking when I actually only cooked it 30 minutes.

The layer of flavors were worth the extra step!!


Psalm 88:1-3


    [1] O LORD, God of my salvation,

        I cry out day and night before you. 

    [2] Let my prayer come before you;

        incline your ear to my cry!


    [3] For my soul is full of troubles,

        and my life draws near to Sheol.
