Lemon Leaf Marinara

Have you ever cooked with fresh lemon leaves? It brings a sensational aroma to your kitchen and brings a bit of sunshine to the table during the long, cold winter. If you are in a colder part of the world, you can source the leaves online here.  Make a plan to order them soon so you can make this sensational Lemon Leaves and Provolone Marinara. The fresh lemon leaves infuse the sauce with a bright citrus flavor that is unlike anything you’ve tasted. I recommend buying from an organic orchard to be sure there is no wax or pesticides left on the leaves. If you simply can’t wait to make this sauce, you can swap the fresh lemon leaves for a few generous strips of fresh lemon zest (just be sure to scrape the white pith off).
