Quick sauce
Description
Universal dressing for salads and hot dishes. Quick marinara sauce is made from canned tomatoes in their own juice. It's quick because you don't need to reduce it for a long time, as you would with fresh tomatoes. We learned the marinara sauce recipe in Italy, after eating so many servings of spaghetti that the hostess couldn't refuse to share her secret with us—especially since we were taking her secret recipe to another country. I periodically add different spices to this sauce, and each time it turns out slightly different. Feel free to experiment too! Perfectly complements pasta, meat, and vegetables.
