🍽️ Tips for the Best Tomato Sauce:
- Fresh Tomatoes: If you have access to fresh, ripe tomatoes, feel free to use them instead of canned. To peel tomatoes, score an “X” on the bottom, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. The skins should peel off easily.
- Add More Herbs: For a richer flavor, you can experiment with adding thyme, rosemary, or parsley to your sauce. Fresh herbs will give the sauce a brighter, more aromatic taste.
- Use a Slow Cooker: If you prefer a hands-off approach, you can cook the sauce in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours. This allows the flavors to really develop.
- Make it Ahead: Homemade tomato sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Make a big batch and save some for later!
- Add a Splash of Wine: For a more complex flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine when you add the tomatoes.
🍝 What to Serve It With:
- Spaghetti: The classic choice for a reason—this sauce pairs perfectly with a bowl of al dente spaghetti.
- Pizza: Use as the base sauce for homemade pizza; it’s way better than store-bought.
- Meatballs: Make a hearty meal by pairing this sauce with some delicious homemade or store-bought meatballs.
- Eggplant Parmesan: Layer this tomato sauce with crispy eggplant slices and cheese for a comforting dish.
