Marinara Sauce
Marinara Sauce is a simple Italian-style tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and herbs; it’s commonly used as a base for pasta, pizza and many Mediterranean dishes and is prized for its bright tomato flavor and herbaceous aroma. In addition to being relatively light, Marinara Sauce provides about 2g of fiber per 100g, and tomatoes contribute vitamin C and carotenoids such as lycopene, which act as antioxidants. Nutritionally it’s generally a healthful, vegetable-forward sauce choice — rich in plant compounds and low in calories compared with cream-based or heavily processed sauces, making it an easy way to add flavor and micronutrients to meals.
