A simple recipe for classic marinara sauce with a little kick. You can use this delicious marinara for all kinds of pasta recipes or in vegan meatball subs.

The secret to making great marinara sauce is using lots of fresh garlic and cooking the sauce in a wide skillet. It will enable the sauce to reduce quickly and build up flavor.

Is Marinara Sauce Vegan?

One of the things you learn when you go vegan is that non-vegan products, especially dairy products, seem to wind up in so many foods.

I got sick of checking labels which is why I decided to learn how to make marinara sauce on my own. That way I can make sure that it's vegan! This marinara is also gluten free, so it's a win-win.
