Basic tomato sauce
Description
Homemade sauce recipe. For the base of this sauce, you can use fresh tomatoes (peeled) in season, but canned tomatoes in their own juice work perfectly as well. Add your favorite spices and herbs to make the sauce more aromatic. If desired, you can prepare a large batch and freeze it. This is very convenient, especially for busy home cooks to appreciate :)
