Tomato Sauce

Tomato Sauce

Everyday

Tomato sauce is a smooth, cooked purée made primarily from ripe tomatoes, often enhanced with garlic, onions, and herbs like basil or oregano. This pantry staple provides a low-fat, low-calorie base for pasta dishes, pizzas, and stews, though commercial versions frequently contain significant sodium. Unlike chunkier marinara sauce, it typically has a neutral flavor profile that adapts well to both simple and complex seasoning blends.
