Homemade Tomato Sauce

Pane-Bistecca

It’s actually quite easy to make your own tomato sauce. Homemade Tomato Sauce here means the basic sauce, i.e. without meat or other additives. You can use it on pizza, pasta or, like me, with vegetables for gratinating. All you need are 4 ingredients and spices. Poured hot into jars, it keeps fresh for up to a week.

This also brings back childhood memories, because my Italian family cooked a lot of tomato sauce. I can almost smell it. Unfortunately, I can’t get the really good San Marzano tomatoes here in Asia, they are excellent! And the whole house smells so wonderful when the sauce is simmering.
