My nana’s special sauce was always a crowd fave!

Marsala Sauce hails from the rich culinary traditions of Sicily, Italy, where Marsala wine has been produced since the 18th century. This sauce, known for its deep, complex flavors, is a wonderful accompaniment to meats like chicken and veal, adding a rich, savory element to your dish. It’s perfect for home cooks looking to expand their repertoire with a sauce that brings a touch of Italian elegance to the table.

Marsala Sauce pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. Consider serving it over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or buttery polenta to soak up all those delicious juices. Steamed vegetables like asparagus or green beans also complement the rich flavor of the sauce without overwhelming it. For a lighter option, a simple side salad with a vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast.
