Read MoreMarinara sauce is one of easiest tomato sauces you can make. My marinara takes less than a half hour to make and is a bit of a hybrid sauce in regards to flavour as I add onion, a bit of anchovy paste (easily omitted for a vegan or vegetarian marinara), both basil and oregano and I add parsley too. It is still lighter than a traditional tomato sauce and it is delicious!
