Tomato Sauce

tomato-sauce

I love making homemade tomato sauce, for little effort you get a sauce packed full of flavour. My recipe isn’t fancy but it makes such a difference when I add it to pizza or pasta. I add two cans of chopped tomatoes to a pan and then add the ingredients I want to flavour the sauce with. I love garlic, so I always add at least a couple of teaspoons of minced garlic along with a selection of herbs. It’s a simple recipe that works perfectly with pizza, pasta or fish. It’s slightly sweet with a touch of spice and the fresh basil adds a wonderful element of fragrance and vibrancy.
