In Australia, we probably wouldn’t call anything without seafood in it ‘marinara’, but, in fact, the Italian origin of marinara sauce is that it was made and eaten by mariners. It is a deep-red tomato sauce and is pretty damn good on almost anything that requires sauce (you will see it referenced many times in Tenina's America the cookbook). It may just become a fridge staple in your house as it has in mine.
