About Marinara pasta sauce

Marinara pasta sauce is a classic Italian condiment made primarily from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and a blend of herbs like basil and oregano. Originating from Naples, it embodies the simplicity and vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Naturally low in fat and rich in antioxidants like lycopene—found in tomatoes—it supports heart health and immune function. Olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic and herbs contribute anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, store-bought versions may contain added sugars, excessive sodium, or preservatives, so it's wise to check labels or opt for homemade recipes to control ingredients. Marinara sauce is a versatile, nutrient-packed addition to pasta, vegetables, or lean proteins, offering layers of flavor while complementing a balanced diet.
