- Authors Note: Traditionally, marinara sauces will direct you to cook your chopped vegetables in olive oil until translucent prior to adding them to your sauce.
- This recipe does not call for that step.
- It's meant to keep some snap, body and texture in your sauce.
- Chop your vegetables.
- Place everything in the Marinara Sauce section in a large pot and simmer on medium heat for about an hour and a half.
- Stir intermittently.
- Remove bay leaves after simmer.
- Generously smear your bread with garlic butter and sprinkle tops with Dried Parsley and Parmesan Cheese.
- Bake rolls at 350 for 8 minutes.
- Pile your Marinara Sauce on thick, sturdy pieces of garlic parmesan bread, or, dip toasted garlic strips directly into it.
- If you'd like to make this a main pasta dish as opposed to an antipasto - this is a great truffle noodle that pairs excellent with this mushroom based Marinara Sauce.
