It’s already the workhorse among sauces in most kitchens, but there are even more ways to maximize your menu with marinara.
First, the lines between a red sauce and marinara are blurred on just how important both are for a menu. According to Datassential, red sauce appears in a menu description in 47% of menus nationwide. Marinara is on 32% of menus. Add a meat to either red sauce or marinara, and you’ll discover a menu penetration of 16% of ‘meat sauce’. Add them all up, and you’ll tally 95% of restaurant menus have relevance to the rich and hearty flavor that customers love.
Marinara is also one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen for menu applications beyond pasta. As a sandwich sauce, a sauce for meatballs, chicken parmesan, lasagna, are just a few. Then, as a dipping sauce, marinara is perfect for everything from pizza crusts and bread sticks to chicken tenders. Thus, marinara is clearly a kitchen essential.
Yet, unless your operation is positioned as an authentic Italian restaurant, most operators have turned to fully prepared marinara sauce as the solution. This time and labor solution also assures consistency in flavor and consistency.
