Marinara Sauce Recipe

Marinara Sauce is a type of red sauce made with tomatoes, herbs, and spices. Although it might sound like an ordinary spaghetti sauce, Marinara sauce tend to be more spicy than ordinary tomato based sauces,

Aside from being a popular sauce for pasta, Marinara sauce is also a good dipping sauce for mozzarella cheese sticks and soft breads.

This sauce got its name from its inventors: the cooks aboard Napolitan ships (these ships come from the city of Naples or Napoli). Some say that “Marinara” came from the Italian word for sea, “Marinaro”.

      You can sprinkle some fresh parsley (around 1/2 teaspoon) if you like.

      You can, but the result won’t be the same as expected. Basil and parsley have different properties.
