Pink Marinara Sauce – Italian Pink Sauce Recipe (VIDEO)
Chef Jason Hill shares his favorite pink marinara sauce, also known as an Italian pink sauce, in this episode of “Chef Tips.” Inspired by a sauce served at Newport Beach restaurant Mama D’s, this Italian pink sauce recipe is delicious with spaghetti, ravioli, and eggplant parmesan. Here is Jason’s recipe for pink sauce:
1 jar roma or plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried or fresh basil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated
1 teaspoon garlic-shallot puree or 1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and sugar for seasoning
Preheat pan on medium high heat. After 1 minute, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and saute carrot and onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic puree and cook another couple minutes. After 5 minutes, add dried basil and tomatoes. After it starts to boil, sprinkle in crushed red pepper and put the lid on. Simmer 30 minutes. Remove lid and let reduce a bit more. Transfer to food processor or blender and pulse for 30 seconds. To finish, season with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar if it’s too acidic. To make the pink sauce, add about 1/4 cup heavy cream and mix again.

This looks amazing but why do you add a carrot

Thanks dude
Well done video. I don't cook, but I'm going to try this one. How would you compare this to the pink sauce at Mama D's? I don't mean better or worse, but similarity? I want to try and recreate that sauce so I don't have to spend 18+ dollars to enjoy it. Thanks!!
Excellent, easy-to-follow video with minimal yet essential and down-to-earth narration.
The quality of your videos is so high that you're kitchen around you honestly looks fake. Definitely the highest quality food videos on youtube right up there with Food Wishes
No more "chef" jason hill???
Looks good! I might have to try that one.
Nice sauce Chef Jason. l like the addition of heavy cream to it. Thanks. Neil
Instead of using a food processor you can use an emersion blender (if you have one) 😉
Looks delicious Jason!
The simple recipes are always the best!! I am glad that he jars it with basil. I was about to fly you some fresh basil from my yard. The thing I do love about our weather here is having a constant garden and being able to run out and grab certain herbs! That looked fantastic. I got a little silly grin on my face when you put in that splash of heavy whipping cream. I've found I have to always add sugar now Scott doesn't have acid reflux. Thanks for the unexpected midweek video! 🙂
