Undid revision 1229865905byJackkBrown (talk) The user who created this article has made too much, too much confusion. I could, in this article, refer to Italian-American sauce; however, it's absurd that marinara sauce and alla marinara (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alla_marinara) are treated as synonyms

Marinara sauce, known in Italianasalla marinara, is a cooking which involves the use of aromatic herbs from the Mediterranean area such as basil and oregano, sometimes also olives, capers and salted anchovies; these are usually accompanied by tomato sauce, but it is not a compulsory ingredient. It is widely used in Italian-American cuisine, in which its ingredients are different.[1][2][3][4] It is used for spaghetti and vermicelli, but also with meat or fish.[5]
Several folk theories exist as to the origin of this sauce. One version states that cooks aboard Neapolitan ships returning from the Americas invented marinara sauce in the mid-16th century after Spaniards introduced the tomato to Europe. Another theory states this was a sauce prepared by the wives of Neapolitan sailors upon their return from the sea.[6]
Historically, however, the first Italian cookbook to include tomato sauce,[7] Lo Scalco alla Moderna ('The Modern Steward'), was written by Italian chef Antonio Latini and was published in two volumes in 1692 and 1694. Latini served as the Steward of the First Minister to the Spanish Viceroy of Naples.[7][8][9] This early tomato sauce was more like a modern tomato salsa.
A sauce similar to Italian-American marinara sauce is known in some areas of central Italyassugo finto[10] (lit. 'fake sauce').
The terms should not be confused with spaghetti marinara, a popular dish in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and South Africa, in which a tomato-based sauce is mixed with fresh seafood.[11][12] In Italy, a pasta sauce including seafood is more commonly called alla pescatora.[5]
