When you purchase some of my marinara sauces, you already have half your meal prepared.  Here are more ways and reasons to have it in your pantry.

I will be putting all the recipes in my RECIPE BOX.  All the different ways you can use a gourmet marinara sauce, and believe me, it is very versatile.  You can add a few ingredients to change it up for any type of meal.

How about this one…

Puttanesca (with black olives, capers and basil)

Sauté sliced onion and garlic in olive oil, sprinkle (just a few) red pepper flakes.  Add my chunky marinara sauce, chopped olives, and some capers.   Simmer for 10 minutes.  Stir in a big piece of torn fresh basil and just server over your favorite pasta.

Or… you can serve it over polenta.  Fry up some already prepared polenta (you can buy polenta tubes from me also.  I have fantastic cooked rosemary and garlic polenta tubes).  Slice it up, fry it in some olive oil, and pour the above prepared sauce on top.

If you like sausage, just fry up some hot Italian sausage, cut it up, pour one of my red marinara sauces over them, simmer to cook through, and serve over polenta.  That is the best!!!!

You can do the same thing with fried chicken parts.  Just marinate the chicken parts in red wine vinegar, either half hour before cooking or the night before.  Fry them up in chopped garlic and olive oil, salt and pepper.  Heat up some chunky marinara sauce, pour over chicken and top with parsley and grated Romano cheese.  A side of sautéed green beans in olive oil, butter and lemon pepper and you’ve got a complete meal.  And it will take under an hour if you use boneless chicken pieces.
