It seems like we go through gallons of tomato sauce in our house. We use it to make pizza, in pasta, on fish and chicken, as a dip for vegetables and more. I like to make homemade sauce using fresh tomatoes from our farmers’ market whenever they’re in season, but when I can’t get my hands on fresh, I make this version of my sauce with organic canned tomatoes. The recipe is really fast and easy and is versatile enough to use in most of your favorite recipes that call for a red sauce. Best of all, you can have it year round!

You can use those, but it will be much thinner than the sauce. To thicken it you can simmer it, uncovered, longer until it reduces!
Can I make this with canned crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce? It is what I have in the pantry?

I just made a double batch of this and it was delicious. I froze half and served half with homemade meatballs. Yum! Much lower in sodium than the jarred sauce I had been buying, and very quick & easy. Can’t wait to make with fresh local tomatoes if this winter ever ends. 🙂
The Weelicious Tomato Sauce is a staple at our house! I made a big batch the other night and froze ice cube tray portion’s of it. Don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before…It’s the perfect amount to go on a serving of pasta for my 13 month old! And talk about easy…Just pop a cub in the micro for a few seconds and your good to go 🙂
