    @The Tec Dr: who’d have thought I’d come across you here? Correct sir, no need to cook it, use garlic or vinegar and especially sugar! Tomato, EVoil, salt, that’s all for the sauce! Good ingredients are key, keep them good and keep it simple. Now if you want garlic the Marinara is a classic, tomato sauce , garlic, oregano, EVoil! Hope you are well Tec
