Notas

Make it umami: Add in 2 links of hot Italian sausage along with ground chunk.

Make it spicier: Double (or even triple) the amount of crushed red pepper flakes in the recipe.

Make it herbier: Substitute 1 bay leaf with 4 sprigs of fresh basil. Maybe toss in a sprig of fresh rosemary, sage, or thyme, if happen to have one on hand.

Make it extra buttery: Stir an extra tablespoon or two of butter into the sauce just before serving. Makes it taste decadent and delicious.

Make it creamy: If want more of a rose sauce, you can stir 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the marinara.

Make it chunkier: If want an even chunkier sauce, do not puree the tomatoes. Alternatively, forgo any blender and break up the tomatoes as much or as little as desired with a wooden spoon.
