Quick marinara sauce is an invaluable staple in our house. I try to have some in the freezer at all times. It has saved the day more than once when I thought at the last moment – oops what’s for dinner?? Marinara sauce is not just for spaghetti. It is also a pizza sauce, a dip for chicken tenders or a Stromboli, a start for chicken parmesan and a base for many other sauces. It is a serious work horse in the kitchen.
