This is my recipe for a classic basic tomato pasta sauce that is full of flavor and packed with veggies. It’s perfect if your kids are picky eaters. It’s a sauce that you can use on your spaghetti, linguini or even lasagna.
There are as many recipes for tomato sauce, but this one is a classic, stunning, full-bodied sauce to star in your pasta dish. The tomato paste thickens up the sauce and adds some richness, but you can leave it out if you prefer a thinner sauce. You can even add some meatballs or extra vegetables to the dish if you want a more robust meal.
I learned this recipe from my niece, who again got this recipe from her neighbor. This proves it’s a good recipe, that everyone wants to try. It’s not difficult at all, and you’ll be so happy with the results, You’ll never buy ready-made jars of pasta sauce again after trying this simple, easy recipe.
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Take a large pot and sprinkle generously with olive oil.
