About Marinara Sauce Home Style

I always want to use home made sauce for pasta. Whether it is red sauce or white sauce. Whatever brand you buy from market, the fresh flavours of herbs are mind blowing. Today I am sharing Italian Marinara sauce. Traditionally the key ingredients to this sauce are Italian Red Plum Tomatoes, yellow onion, garlic and Italian herbs and kosher salt. But I have given it a twist by adding charred grilled red bell pepper. It gives a smoky flavor to the marinara sauce and my family loves it. Along with it I have added carrots to bring natural sweetness to the marinara sauce.
