Who said marinara had to be Italian? This Indian-fusion recipe is heartier than most marinara sauces, so it can be served over rice or other grains as well as pasta. If you don’t have all the spices on hand, use what you do have, or experiment with other Indian spices such as cumin powder or garam masala. Feel free to toss in some extra veggies such as eggplant, sauteed celery or diced carrots as well.
