"As you're decluttering your pantry and kitchen cabinets to see what you have in stock, you might come across a jar of marinara sauce. Whether you've got one or several gathering dust, we have a bunch of captivating ways to use those jars that don't involve the obvious. We wanted to find some unexpected ways to use the tomato-y sauce that go beyond dunking squeaky homemade air fryer cheese curds in it or placing it on pizza."
"Store-bought ramen is an easy way to get lunch or dinner on the table. It's warm and satisfying, but sometimes you want to enhance it beyond how it comes from the packet. Try pouring some marinara sauce into your ramen next time you cook up some of it. Brands like Maruchan, Top Ramen, or Sapporo Ichiban work well here, especially in flavors like beef, chicken, or soy."
Marinara typically contains tomatoes, garlic, crushed red pepper, and fresh basil. It has a looser texture and a simpler flavor profile than many tomato sauces, making it easy to adapt across recipes. Jarred marinara can enhance unexpected dishes and be used beyond pizza or dipping; applications range from drinks to breakfast and other creative uses. For instant ramen, cook and drain the noodles, add marinara to warm in the pan, and garnish with fresh basil; brands like Maruchan, Top Ramen, or Sapporo Ichiban pair well. Quantities depend on recipe size and personal preference, and a single jar can be finished through multiple ideas.
