Great with Crusty Bread,which reminds me--would you have any recipes for the flavored oils that I can use to dip bread in? Thank-you for considering it if you please.

Real marinara always has anchovies in it (mare = sea) but I'll use this as my base and add them :-). Thanks!

Hi Jojo! You are definitely right on Mare = sea and this sauce is usually with seafoods.
For flavored dips to use on crusty breads and my favorite focaccia, I love using olive oil mixed with herbs and a little apple-cider vinegar for tanginess. Let me post a recipe on this. Thanks for all the comments :-)
