    I didn't really care for how the marinara turned out, it lacked flavor. I even added fresh herbs like basil and oregano which helped the flavor alot but not sure if I will try this one again.

    Eh, just okay. I think the carrots kill it for me. Adds a sweetness I'm not crazy about. This is probably the one and only time I can say my own recipe is better than Giada's.

    Wow! I wasnt sure about adding carrots and celery but my god it was delicious. I did however use the emulsion blender and purreed them with a little bit of the sauce then i threw in the rest of the tomato sauce. It was amazing and simple. Perfect for my little vegetarian. Next time im going to try to throw in some ground italian seasoned turkey. Love Giada!

    Oh my goodness! This marinara sauce is the absolute best. My one change is to add ground beef with the vegetables.

    I loved this recipe. I did make some additions based on the comments. My additions were; 1 teaspoon each of basil, thyme, parsley and oregano. Plus 1 tablespoon sugar. My Husband loved it. I have been looking for a good authentic marinara recipe. The one I have been using for the last few years was far too heavy on the herbs. I like this one so much better.

    This recipe is a winner! I must confess to adding a little basil to the sauce, oregano would work too. I also added a touch of dry red wine. You can add meatballs for a classic spaghetti and meatballs or use it as is over pasta or for a delicious pizza sauce. Easy and quick to make, we all loved it!

    This is my first time doing a marinara sauce...I followed directions as stated but I added a bit more than requested. After researching different recipes I decided to add fresh basil, Italian parsley, oregano, 1/2 cup of red wine and a lil sugar....now waiting on the outcome. I'm sure it will come out great.

    I always agonize over my web search of marinara sauce recipes. This time I was in a hurry to use 2 peppers, and this was the first recipe in the search results. Now it doesn't have peppers but I knew I could put them in. I've seen it before and hesitated to use celery. I was skeptical of carrots too but I learned last time grated ones sweetened the sauce nicely. But today I said, what the heck, let me give it a shot.

    Yes, it's desprately need of an herb, probably fresh basil, but dried oregano or, as in some recipes, parsley, might work. I'm not serving it tonight and just wanted to get it started, so I'll add some herbs tomorrow. I love someone's suggestion of her other recipe with olives and red pepper flakes, I'll probably to that. The veggies came out too soft for my liking I think. I use hand crushed whole canned plum tomatoes, which make any sauce awesome.

    I thought this was quick and easy and it's pretty tasty. I put everything into my Ninja processor and pureed very well (I don't like thick sauce

    I am pretty happy :
