The best and quickest marinara sauce! The flavours from the garlic and tomatoes alone will still create an amazing and aromatic sauce you'll be sure to enjoy! The added kick with this marinara sauce is the chili flakes, which I liked to add to really bring the sauce together.

Experience sweet chunks of Italian tomatoes in a light and delicious package. The key to this sauce is to use good Italian canned tomatoes, and that’s it! The other ingredients you probably already have on hand: olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt.

The best aspect of this sauce is the texture, which allows you to really enjoy those sweet tomatoes. The secret is to pulse your tomatoes right before cooking, alternatively you can mash them with your hands as well for more texture.

By the time this sauce is ready, you should be able to boil and cook pasta and grate some lovely Parmesan cheese, all while relaxing and sipping on some wine. This is my go to sauce whether I’m making chicken Parmesan, baked spaghetti or even pizza!
