Nothing beats freshly made marinara sauce from fresh tomatoes. In this recipe, the tomatoes are simmered with herbs, wine and garlic creating a vibrant and flavourful sauce without unwanted additives and gluten that you may find in the canned marinara sauce. Marinara sauce is very versatile. This delicious vegan Italian sauce can be served with gluten-free pasta, in stews, lasagna or soups. Double the recipe and freeze half for future use
