Recipe Tips
The key to making this recipe perfect is to use fresh, ripe tomatoes. You can also use canned tomatoes, but the flavor won't be as robust as using fresh tomatoes. You can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce for a heartier flavor.
If you want a thicker sauce, you can cook the sauce on the sauté setting for a few minutes to reduce the liquid. You can also add a tablespoon of tomato paste to thicken the sauce. If the sauce is too acidic, try adding a pinch of sugar to balance out the flavors.
This tomato sauce can be used in a variety of dishes such as lasagna, spaghetti, ravioli, and more. It can also be used as a pizza sauce or to make a delicious soup. You can also freeze it in an air tight container for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
