This recipe was developed by Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Catherine Sugrue for Produce Made Simple.
What Catherine has to say about this recipe! “I love sauce. If I could, I would sauce everything up. But as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, I prefer to make my own simple sauces to avoid unnecessary ingredients. This simple marinara sauce is full of fresh ingredients so it’s bursting with flavour, even without the traditional inclusion of red wine. I love using this recipe for topping pasta, dipping or to just add an extra kick to other recipes. You’ll find that once you start using this simple recipe, you won’t want to go back to other store-bought sauces again.”
