Olive Garden Marinara Sauce Recipe
The rich blend of tomatoes, garlic, and herbs gives this sauce its nostalgic, restaurant-quality taste.It’s important to use a stainless-steel pot to avoid a metallic flavor from the tomatoes; trust me, you’ll notice the difference!Let the sauce simmer long enough for the flavors to meld beautifully, usually around an hour.I absolutely love how you can store leftovers in the freezer for later; it keeps that savory magic ready for your next meal!Don’t forget a sprinkle of cheese at the end for the perfect finishing touch.
