Simple Marinara Sauce

We have a goal today: to get you away from that jar of store bought marinara sauce and give you the tools to easily create a sauce that is delicious, healthy and custom made to your taste. In as little as fifteen minutes, you can make a pasta sauce that is as enticing as those sold for $9 at the gourmet store for half or less than the price and it will be just as tasty, but with your signature. We fully encourage you to play with your food! That’s why we have such a large catalogue of spices. Our marinara sauce recipe has plenty of fresh garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, fleur de sel, and freshly ground black pepper. Feel free to add chopped, sauteed onions to this sauce recipe, or to come up with something completely different using spices from all over the world! You can give your sauce Indian flare, Middle Eastern flare, or Latin flare. The choices are nearly endless.
