Tomato sauce with basil
Description
Homemade sauce is easy and quick to prepare. I'd like to introduce a very original tomato sauce with basil—a light sauce with a Mediterranean, or rather Italian, touch. This sauce is perfect for pasta dishes and pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables and meat, and slightly less so with seafood. Making tomato sauce with basil is extremely simple—I see no reason not to give it a try! :) The finished sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
