MY homemade tomato sauce – I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve made this sauce twice in the past 2 weeks, and it is DELICIOUS! I don’t think I will be buying bottled tomato sauce for a long time. My homemade version is simple and takes less than 30 minutes to make.
NOTE: You can absolutely follow the recipe as posted. OR you can make a few changes to really amp up the flavor and texture. For my last two batches, I added ~1 cup chopped onion, a hefty sprinkle of cayenne, fresh basil, and 2 tablespoons of red wine (I used a Merlot).
