This is the basic Italian marinara sauce used on pasta combined with seafood or with parmiggiano dishes. The sauce can be prepared in around 30 minutes. If you are able to make the sauce the day before you are planning to serve it, you should end up with a richer, fuller and more flavoursome sauce, as the ingredients are allowed to sit and infuse together.
