Quick and Easy Pasta

Last week I ran out of store bought pasta sauce and neither had any fresh tomatoes to make marinara sauce. All I had was a can of organic tomato sauce from Trader Joes . I made this quick pasta sauce and came out totally awesome ! It saved lot of my energy cooking authentic marinara sauce, especially when I am looking for quick dinner.
