Marinara Sauce Ingredients:
Onion & Garlic: These 2 ingredients are always the base for creating a delicious, flavorful pasta sauce. I use white onion, and feel free to adjust to more or less garlic depending how much garlic you like. Tomatoes: Since it’s summer, fresh tomatoes are always better and more flavorful to use in your homemade marinara sauce. However, if you want, you can also use canned tomatoes instead. They can be more acidic though so you may need to sweeten them up in the pot by adding a touch of sugar. The same goes for fresh basil.
How to make marinara sauce:
What is marinara sauce? Marinara sauce is a tomato sauce usually made with tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions but everyone puts their own spin on their secret ingredients that make it their own. Why is it called marinara? It translated to “seafaring” and was given its name because it was the preferred meal of Italy’s merchants during long sea expeditions. Is marinara sauce the same as spaghetti sauce? Spaghetti sauce is a version of marinara, but it usually contains additional ingredients, like meat or vegetables, where marinara is much more simple. What is the flavor of marinara sauce? The taste of fresh tomatoes, with a velvety texture and rich kick from the olive oil. What makes marinara sauce thick? If your marinara sauce is a bit watery, starch (such as corn startch) is what will thicken it up. Storage: Store the marinara sauce in the fridge for 5 – 6 days.
