Marinara sauce

Marinara sauce is a classic Italian tomato-based sauce made with ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and herbs such as basil and oregano. It's typically simmered to develop rich flavors and has a smooth, slightly chunky texture. Used as a topping for pasta, pizza, or as a dipping sauce, marinara is versatile, flavorful, and often prepared quickly, highlighting fresh or canned tomatoes and aromatic herbs. Its balanced, savory taste makes it a popular foundation in many Italian and American dishes.
