I love seafood and definitely marinara mix. I have shared 2 recipes with cream sauce to cook with marinara. Here is a simpler, shortcut way for a tomato-based sauce.
500g marinara mix
1 bottle of Bertolli tomato and basil sauce (This Bertolli range has no added preservatives nor MSG and it was on sale when I bought it)
shaved or grated parmesan cheese to serve
400g ribbon pasta
1 brown onion, finely diced
Cook pasta in salted boiling water, according to instructions on the packet, until al dente.
In the meantime, heat a frying pan. When heated, add olive oil and onions and cook until they are lightly softened. Add pasta sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add seafood. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes or until seafood is cooked through, and the sauce has come to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Dish the sauce over cooked pasta on a plate. Top with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
If you want to use store-bought pasta sauce, make sure you read its food label for the sodium (salt) content and if any preservatives are added (check the ingredients list). Try as much as possible to go for those with no preservatives and lower sodium content. They do not necessarily cost a lot more than those that have preservatives.
