Tomato sauce
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To make the tomato sauce, you'll need fresh or canned tomatoes. I prefer the first option, as it makes the sauce more natural, appetizing, and rich in flavor. You can use chicken or vegetable broth, but chicken broth will make the sauce more hearty and tastier. Add parsley, dill, and optionally cilantro. Serve hot.
