Marinara sauce is a classic Italian condiment made primarily from tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and herbs such as basil and oregano. Known for its bright, tangy flavor, marinara originates from Southern Italy and is a staple in Italian cuisine, often used as a base for pasta dishes, pizza, and seafood recipes. Nutritionally, marinara is low in calories and fat, making it a heart-healthy choice when made with whole ingredients. Tomatoes provide a rich source of vitamins A and C, as well as the antioxidant lycopene, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. Olive oil contributes healthy monounsaturated fats. However, some packaged marinara sauces may contain added sugars and high sodium levels, which can reduce the nutritional benefits. Opting for homemade or carefully selected store-bought versions can help ensure a healthier choice. Marinara is a versatile and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
