Basic Tomato Sauce
Apr 15, 2020
The key to this simple, tasty sauce is using good-quality tomatoes, such as the San Marzano variety. This recipe makes double the amount of sauce you need for these baked pastas, but it freezes well, so enjoy leftovers tossed with spaghetti and grated Parmesan cheese for a quick weeknight meal.
This aromatic sauce makes an excellent dip with bread, labneh and fresh herbs, or use it to top eggplant or chickpea stews, meatballs or braised lamb.
Polpette, or Italian meatballs, are fantastic with a side of sautéed rapini or other leafy greens. Or serve with cooked pasta, quinoa or rice.
