Marinara sauce is a (mostly) Italian-American sauce made with a tomato base, descended from a sauce originally used for seafood. The sauce includes garlic, herbs, and onions. Traditional marinara is typically thinner than sauces called "spaghetti sauce" and never contains meat or cheese.


Marinara sauce is often found in recipes that also contain lasagna sheets and ricotta cheese
