Our guide to the wonderful world of popular plant-based ingredients
Marinara
Having originated in the Naples, Marinara sauce is typically made with tomatoes, garlic, herbs and onions. However, there has since been adaptations with some supermarket and restaurant versions including capers, spices, red wine or olives. When homemade you can make this classic Italian-American sauce vegan, although just be careful when purchasing from a supermarket or eating out.
