About Homemade marinara

Homemade marinara is a vibrant, tomato-based sauce originating from Italian cuisine, renowned for its simplicity and rich flavor. Made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and fresh herbs such as basil and oregano, this classic sauce embodies the essence of Mediterranean cooking. Many recipes also include a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a touch of sugar to balance acidity. Homemade marinara is low in fat and features heart-healthy olive oil, antioxidants from tomatoes, and immune-boosting garlic and onions. It’s naturally free from added preservatives or artificial ingredients, making it a wholesome choice for pastas, vegetable dishes, or proteins like fish and chicken. Be mindful of sodium levels, especially if adding extra salt. Rich in vitamins A and C, and lycopene, which supports skin and heart health, this timeless sauce is both delicious and nutritious when prepared with fresh, quality ingredients.
