The inspiration for this Gnocchi in Gluten Free Homemade Marinara Sauce was the gluten free gnocchi that I am not posting about because they were close to rocks.  Yes.  Many of us food bloggers have kitchen fails from time to time.  I would say for me, it is not kitchen fails as much as I try different recipes, and ultimately, do not love the recipe.  I will definitely need to practice my gluten free gnocchi technique. I am not sure what I did wrong but I know enough to know that they should be like pillows.

Gluten Free Homemade Marinara Sauce

The benefit of trying new recipes is the residual.  In this case, this was a new recipe for my marinara sauce.  This sauce is amazing – IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.  The flavor for this marinara sauce is built in layers. I have made some MARINARA sauces before that are quite good.  This marinara SAUCE recipe is nearly four years old.  What sets this recipe apart is just the right combination of flavors.

A good marinara sauce begins with the cooking down of a MIREPOIX.  A mirepoix is the slow cooking of celery, carrots and onions.  These vegetables are mixed with a fat, either oil or butter.  I learned through some quick research that the name mirepoix came from the house that a chef worked at in the early 1700’s.  This slow roasting of the veggies brings out there sweetness.  The tomato paste is added next.  It is really important to add the paste early so you can cook out the bitterness in the paste.  The key to this recipe, I believe, is the addition of the tomato juice from MUTTI.

    Taking the time to make a true tomato sauce is always worth the effort, but you’ve really taken it to the next level by adding in the parmesan rind. What a great way to build flavor and bring the sauce to a new heights.

      Clearly you have experience with the Parmesan rind. It does make a big difference.

    I love sauces made with San Marzano tomatoes; simply the best! I also absolutely love that you’ve simmered this sauce with the parmesan rind. I use it often in soups and it’s such a great trick to infusing the pot with an extra layer of flavor. Will make this sauce soon!

      I love to use the rind but don’t often have one on hand. It is so worth it as you know.

      The gnocchi is made with potatoes and flour. So it is the flour you choose that makes it gluten or gluten free. The sauce is boss.
