Put your garden tomatoes, fresh garlic cloves and crunchy green peppers to good use with this zesty tomato marinara sauce recipe. This homemade version has flavor you can't find in canned varieties with aromatic nuances of basil, oregano, sea salt and fennel seeds. Pour sauce over cooked pasta, chicken parm or use in lasagna or on pizza. Use as a dipping sauce for air-fryer mozarella sticks or Nutritional Yeast Vegan Cheese Sticks (see recipe on this site).
