Very good basic tomato sauce. Good to have a supply in the freezer. Used tomato puree and one can of crushed tomatoes to make up the 29 ounces. It was smooth enough without using a blender. Divided the sauce into 4 servings, froze two and left two in the refrigerator. Used one serving on pasta with just a little grated pecorino cheese, very good. Into the other serving I added some fried onions, a handful of peas and a handful of bell peppers. Also served over pasta. Like I said, this is a basic sauce, good by itself and inspiring to add other ingredients. The only thing I will change when making it again is to cut down on the black pepper, I think 1/4 teaspoon will be sufficient. Thanks for posting. -
Now this is a very good tomato sauce recipe!
