📝Description:
Who says marinara has to be ordinary? Our Creamy Honey Ricotta Marinara Sauce takes a classic tomato favorite and gives it a rich, creamy twist! Fresh garlic and olive oil build a savory foundation, while crushed tomatoes simmer with Italian herbs and a touch of Fingerlakes Honey Company Raw Honey to balance their natural acidity. The finishing touch? Creamy ricotta and freshly grated Parmesan, gently swirled into the warm sauce for a delicious combination of tangy tomatoes and rich, cheesy goodness. Whether you're dipping warm pull-apart bread, serving it with pasta, or spooning it over your favorite Italian-inspired dishes, this sauce is sure to become a new favorite!

🍯Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1–2 teaspoons Fingerlakes Honey Company Raw Honey, to taste
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)
🥣Directions
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, Italian Bread Dip Mix, Raw Honey, and optional red pepper flakes.
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors blend and the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in grated Parmesan until incorporated.
Remove from heat. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, leaving some creamy white swirls throughout the sauce.
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or honey as desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.
