Italian classics, the original marinara sauce comes from Naples, south of Rome, where the people were poor, and opulent pasta dishes were served. However, there was no marinara sauce before the mid-16th century when the Spanish people introduced the tomato to Europe. However, Italians quickly adopted this new ingredient. One of the
Italian chefs, Antonio Latini, was the first to publish a tomato sauce recipe in his cookbook. Since then, tomato sauce has evolved in many variations.
The sailors’ wife is the literal translation of marinara. The marinara sauce that resembles the Italian original has more than fewer ingredients such as a little onion and garlic, many canned tomatoes, basil, oregano or thyme, and olive oil main ingredients for an Italian-style marinara sauce. Canned tomatoes, not fresh. Many Italians swear that they taste much better in the sauce than fresh ones.
