Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce
Marinara is as simple as it gets, but our version makes even a weeknight dinner especially delicious! We start with the best quality canned tomatoes, then simmer them with Garlic Gold® Oil and Italian Herb Nuggets. We’ve always got these ingredients in the pantry, so delicious, homemade pasta sauce is never more than 20 minutes away!
Serve this versatile sauce over spaghetti and meatballs, ladled onto polenta, or layered into lasagna. You can even use it to top spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles for a low-carb meal. It’s great on just about everything!
