Article: Anchovies help boost a do-it-yourself marinara sauce Anchovies help boost a do-it-yourself marinara sauce.(Flavor/Gracious Living)(Recipe)

Yes, those jars of marinara sauce at the supermarket beckon when you are faced with the question, "What's for dinner?"

But marinara is surprisingly easy to make and lends itself to many variations. I tried adding some anchovies I had in the freezer to a can of crushed tomatoes recently for a weeknight meal. Their subtle flavor seemed to boost the taste of the tomatoes. (Feel free to use chopped, garden-fresh tomatoes, if you have them!)

Garlic and a little white wine helped round out the sauce's flavors.
