Right off the bat here’s an endless list of what this hearty-homey tomato sauce can be used for:

• Ditch the ketchup on pizza and lather this perfectly seasoned sauce instead. Instant elevation to that homemade pizza. And what’s better on homemade pizza than homemade tomato sauce

• Pasta Al Pomodoro ‘chef’s kiss’ - honey where have you been all my life. Not spilling all the tea just yet otherwise I’ll have no recipe to post for later in this golden apron season 😉. Be on the lookout for how you can use this sauce to elevate your tomato pasta

• Red kidney beans in tomato sauce is another great dance party for this sauce. Just sauté some onions and ginger, add the sauce and beans and a little water, simmer for a bit, watch the magic unfold. And maybe thank me later

• Mushroom curry

• Fresh tilapia fish stew

• Saucy bruschetta topping if you’re feeling experimental

• Spaghetti and meatballs should’ve topped the list
