Marinara sauce originated in Naples, which is not in Tuscany. The name comes from the Italian word for sailor, because it was made for sailors returning from the sea. It does not contain fish, even though some believe it should have anchovies in it. The ingredients are simple: olive oil, garlic, crushed Italian tomatoes, basil, and salt and pepper.
