Marinara Sauce
ChefRhonda PlataDifficultyBeginnerIn this marinara sauce recipe, onion flavors the sauce but is then removed. This is a technique used by Italian cooking writer Marcella Hazan, and in this case, it also helps reduce the carbs per serving of sauce. While the cook time for the marinara is 45 minutes, it is very hands-off, only requiring occasional stirring .
