Italian Marinara is a classic tomato-based sauce hailing from Italian cuisine, renowned for its simplicity and vibrant flavor. Traditionally made with ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, onions, and aromatic herbs such as basil and oregano, it often incorporates a hint of red chili for subtle heat. This versatile sauce is typically used in pasta dishes, as a pizza base, or as a dipping accompaniment. Marinara is a healthy choice when prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients; it's rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants like lycopene, and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. However, store-bought versions may contain added sugar or excess sodium, so it’s wise to check the label. Homemade marinara offers a wholesome, low-calorie option that can elevate a wide array of dishes while adding bold, authentic Italian flavor.
