This pantry staple is even more delicious made from home!
Marinara sauce is likely a staple in your home! It’s perfect to use for pasta but also great used as a base for pizza, a dipping sauce for breadsticks, or even a flavorful topping for grilled meats and seafood.
While store-bought marinara sauces offer convenience, many brands add sugar or other unnecessary ingredients to their recipes. Plus, there’s something special about making your own from scratch! And we love that it allows you to tailor the flavors to your liking.
