House Marinara

Method

Prepare the Marinara

  1. 1

    Cook the Base

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chopped fresh basil just before serving.

Prepare the Cheese Blend

  1. 4

    Mix the Cheeses

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, and ricotta cheese. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    On a serving dish, spread a layer of house marinara on the bottom. Top with a generous layer of the cheese blend.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Arrange the sliced spicy capicola and pepperoni evenly over the cheese. Drizzle hot honey over the top.

  3. 7

    Finish with Greens

    Top with fresh arugula and shaved parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
