In reply to Tracy.

When you look at an Italian-American restaurant menu, a large portion of the dishes will most likely be in a red sauce;
This Marinara sauce originates from Naples and comes from the Italian word Marinaro, meaning sailor.
“There was a simple ONE of Garlic, oil, and tomatoes called marinara, supposedly because it was made quickly, as soon as the mariners’ wives spotted their husbands returning fishing boats in the distance.”

In reply to Tracy. Did you dice the carrot and leave it in the sauce? recipe says to remove, and I have been debating on leaving it in.

I really liked this! I sautéed the onions, carrot and added garlic then the herbs. Added the water and emulsified it. Then added the rest. While cooking I emulsified everything making it a smooth marinara. It’s still cooking… the flavors are great! Great recipe😁

Instead of onions I the sauté a soffritto (finely chopped onion, carrots and celery. Then brown the tomato paste in the soffritto to bring out all that beautiful concentrated flavor. I also like to use dry red wine instead of water to rinse out the can. 😉

I made the meatless version. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using a carrot- I substituted sugar instead. I froze in silicone tray and thaw as needed for pizza and pasta! It is so good. Doubt I’ll use jar marinara again!
