About

My marinara sauce is a bit different, well, ok!!! a lot different that what we are used here in the States. I have had this recipe that I have been making since my teenager years from an Italian in Italian cook book. Throughout the years I have modified it here and there but the base is the same: tomatoes and white wine. Light, delicious and a perfect combination with fish.

On my quest to the grocery store, something that is not one of my favorite activities as I get sidetracked by all the food and go up and down each isle, quite frustrating if you are my companion on the excursion, I came across those fully plump lobster ravioli. My mind raced back to this tomato sauce recipe that I am sharing with you.

I love San Marzano tomatoes, less acidity than any other tomatoes. If you can’t find them and or do not want to run to the store for them, add a teaspoon of sugar to your sauce to balance the acidity. This dish will be perfect as a dinner date, with a side of salad – arugula, butter lettuce – with a simple vinaigrette and for dessert fresh fruit cocktail with ice cream.

Enjoy your evening and Bon Appetit!!
