I'm Italian and I live in Italy. I just want to say this sause in Italy isnt called Marinara. Where do you English and Americans have found this name???? This sause you have prepared hasn't a specific name, it's simply a sauce.
Mother Sauces - Also called Grand Sauces. These are the five most basic sauces that every cook should master. Antonin Careme, founding father of French "grande cuisine," came up with the methodology in the early 1800's by which hundreds of sauces would be categorized under five Mother Sauces, and there are infinite possibilities for variations, since the sauces are all based on a few basic formulas.
@crusader81pr - MOST COMMONLY Known in Italy (depending on the region) as Pasta ca’ Pummarola” in Neaples (Salsa di Pomodoro in Italian) and translate simply in ‘Tomato Sauce’.... there is truth to what you say, C-81.. however it is not TOTALLY unheard of- Salsa Marinara (Sailors Sauce) has been referenced on your native shores for over 200 years- however, it was most likely first named as such as only foreigners (at the time, travelers by ship, or "sailors") referred to tomato sauce as such!
@RonandRobin Anyway, it tastes delicious both you call it "pummarola" or marinara sauce. But belive me, I've never heard "salsa marinara" here in Italy. The only thing we call Marinara is a type of Pizza with tomato sauce, garlic and oregano. I love it.
@crusader81pr - You know what, Bro? Its been over 20 YEARS since I was at la Scuola Cucina in Todi- YOU live there- I'm taking YOUR word for it! Who the hell am I to say what you all are calling tomato sauce now-a-days? Just don't call it gravy!! I migliori auguri! And Buon appetito! Chef Ron
Enlightening information. I love trying different things in the kitchen, and this information is really awesome. I had no idea tomato paste was what it is...
Great use of the Godfather clip, though it was Pete Clemenza not Luca Brasi.
Please Respond!! you say onions have no place in a marinara sauce. But why are you using extra virgin olive oil? which makes the sauce bitter??

The five Mother Sauces are:
Bechamel Sauce (white)
Veloute Sauce (blond)
Brown (demi-glace) or Espagnole Sauce
Hollandaise Sauce (butter)
Tomato Sauce (red)
