I only have the traditional spaghetti sauce. Is there a difference, and, if there is, what change in taste would it be? Thanks

Marinara isn't cooked as long so it is thinner, and it can be bit spicey. It's just a simple, quick sauce without a lot of fussy ingredients. It has more a fresh tomato taste instead of a long cooked tomato taste.
Add a can of chopped tomatoes with the juice, a splash of red wine and some red pepper flakes (about 1/2 teaspoon) some oregano and simmer for about 15 minutes. You'll have a good substitute for Marinara.

It's the same! Spaghetti sauce *IS* marinara sauce. Most of us have a different opinion on what marinara should be, just as we all think of spaghetti sauce differently. Just look to the dictionary: "made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices." What spaghetti sauce isn't made with those things? :o)

In the U.S., marinara sauce is regular tomato-based spaghetti sauce seasoned with garlic and herbs and containing no meat. check the wikipedia link below. In Italy, it is a red sauce used for seafood sauce, thus its name (marine= ocean or sea)

no you can use your sauce and there will be only the different seasonings used as in marinara sauces all taste different due to the seasongs they are the same but different name used......some people say spaghettiesauce...some tomato sauce and some marinara sauce ...so enjoy your meal...

I'd go ahead and use it. Especially if you are in a pinch. Sometimes I use canned sauce and just add some more of my own seasonings to it.

I think marinara may be a little thinner, and no veggie pieces, more seasonings, I believe.

Marinara is a little spicer and does not have chunks of veggies in it.
