How people cook with it
Marinara sauce is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many dishes. It forms the base for numerous Italian-inspired recipes.
- Pasta sauce
- Pizza topping
- Dipping sauce

To use, simply open the jar and pour the sauce into a saucepan. Heat it gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through. You can enhance the flavor by adding your own favorite seasonings, such as extra garlic, basil, or a pinch of red pepper flakes. It can be served directly over cooked pasta, used as a base for lasagna or baked ziti, or spread on pizza dough before adding toppings. It also works well as a dipping sauce for breadsticks or mozzarella sticks.
