What is the difference between a marinara sauce and a speg. sauce? can you interchange them in a recipe
I'm curious where you learned that from, Jill or Jolie, whichever you are. Because Marinara Sauce is a special type of tomato sauce. There are many, many types of Italian tomato sauces, and there may be many that some people think are Marinara, but there really is only one.shpj4 said:There are many types of marinara sauces and I am sure that one of our cooks and chefs can tell you the differences.

spaghetti sauce is generic...could be with meat, or peppers or just butter and cheese. Any pasta topping is spaghetti sauce. However in America we tend to think of it as a marinara of some type with meat added usually. Italian meat sauces, Bolognese for example, are far less tomato-y than we make them.

ChefJune said:She also mentioned that Marinara sauce really should only be made when one has really great tomatoes. Otherwise make a regular Sugo.
