Gluten Free Marinara Sauce Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Marinara Sauce

There are a couple of recipes that I make for my husband (not for me- I’m allergic to tomatoes) that I should use marinara sauce instead of bolognese (meat) sauce. I usually have a freezer full of bolognese sauce and tend to use it because it’s there, the meat makes it flavorful, and he enjoys it. However, I’m tired of fishing out all of the meat to use it in my Chicken Parmesan Recipe. So, I began experimenting this week with a new, flavorful marinara sauce. I’ve come to the conclusion that adding wine makes the the most flavorful marinara. I hope you enjoy this gluten free marinara sauce recipe.

He said that the only reason why they don’t label it gluten free is because it is made on a grill that would pick of cross-contamination from gluten. Their peanut sauce may also contain gluten, but I didn’t ask. The appetizer is called Saigon Summer Rolls, also known as Vietnamese Rolls (Saigon is the former name of the current city, Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam.)

I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. Continue reading “Spicy Carrot Salad”
