To use this sauce, simply open the jar and heat it on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it is warmed through. You can also add it directly to your cooking, such as simmering it with meatballs or incorporating it into a baked pasta dish.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a standard marinara, the addition of cabernet wine lends a subtle depth and complexity to the flavor profile. The wine contributes a slight tannic note and a more robust aroma that distinguishes it from simpler tomato-based sauces. This makes it a good choice for those seeking a more sophisticated taste.
