Red sauce, commonly known as marinara or tomato sauce, is a staple in Italian cuisine, widely used in pasta dishes, pizzas, and more. Its base typically consists of ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and a blend of herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley. Depending on the recipe, it may also include additional vegetables, spices, or a hint of red wine for depth of flavor. Rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants such as lycopene, red sauce can support heart health and boost immunity. When prepared with extra virgin olive oil, it also provides healthy fats. However, store-bought varieties may contain added sugars, salt, or preservatives, which can detract from its nutritional value. Opting for homemade or low-sodium, sugar-free options can make red sauce a delicious and wholesome addition to your meals.
