There are things are pillars of our culinary repertoire that we L.O.V.E. and are staples in our kitchen.
A damn good basic tomato sauce a.k.a marinara sauce is one of them. Use it to dish out favorites ragus, spicy sauces with clams and oregano, smother the sauce all over your favorite cheesy polenta and more.
This one is the only way I make mine. It'll never let you down and give that rich and robust base that you're looking for in a great marinara.
Have a go!
warmly,
