MARINARA

$13.50

The Marinara originated along Italy’s southern coast. The name alla marinara, meaning “in the mariner’s style,” reflects its origin among sailors and fishermen who needed a quick, simple sauce to prepare on their ships upon returning from long voyages. Made with shelf stable ingredients such as olive oil, garlic, oregano, and preserved tomatoes, it was traditionally cooked over open flames as ships docked along the harbors of Southern Italy.

Its simplicity and lack of meat made it ideal for maritime life and warm coastal climates. The sauce’s bold flavor comes from an umami burst of fried garlic and oregano, giving it a brightness and herbaceous depth that complements anything from pasta to seafood. Marinara remains a symbol of resourceful Italian cooking, humble, quick, and full of spirit.
