If Italian cuisine had a flavor that could define it in a single taste, it would be the zesty, aromatic profile of marinara sauce.
Marinara Sauce
This iconic tomato-based sauce is a perfect blend of tradition, health, and most importantly, taste. Whether you're a food aficionado, a staunch home cook, or a health-conscious paleo enthusiast, marinara offers a delightful culinary canvas that everyone can enjoy.
Keep in mind, too, that marinara is not just for Zoodles, it's a versatile sauce that can infuse flavor into a wide array of dishes. Use it as a base for Paleo Pizza, as a dipping sauce for vegetable sticks, or to spice up a simple chicken bake. The possibilities are nearly endless.
