Best Ever 5-Minute Marinara

5 Minute Red Sauce rivals any Italian restaurant that I have eaten in. Proof that simple can taste even better.

I have been a slow roasted girl most of my life (hence the name "The Slow Roasted Italian").  I have a love for that flavor that is imparted into sauces after hours and hours of roasting in an oven like my favorite oven roasted sauce.  But who has time for that?

I fell in love.  Imagine a sauce that can be put together in 5 minutes that will give you a fantastic richness.  No one will ever know how easy this is, unless you share the secret.

There are so many names for red sauce.  I grew up with my dad calling it red gravy.  So, what do you call it?  Red sauce (American-Italian)?  Red gravy (very Italian)? Tomato sauce (slightly Italian)? Marinara sauce (southern Italian)?  Spaghetti sauce (American)?

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
