Tomato Sauce
This healthy, flavorful tomato sauce is a staple in many dishes and is really simple to make. Lots of herbs and seasonings make it so delicious that my family prefers this over anything store bought.
You can use whatever onion you have on hand. Sometimes I like using a sweet onion, other times I mix in some red, so go with whatever’s available and what you like.
As always, use recipes as a guideline and feel free adjust the spices to suit your preferences. For example, add more red pepper flakes to add some heat, or more sugar to make it sweeter.

I learned this while I was abroad. This is an easy version that's light on the oil. It's a simple and delicious all-purpose sauce with no frills!Be sure not to burn the garlic when cooking it. You can make various versions by adding meat, vegetables, white sauce, sour cream, curry powder, etc. If you want to have a thicker sauce, you can add some katakuriko potato starch to adjust the thickness.

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef. ingridbagnariol -
Simple Tomato Sauce Simple Tomato Sauce
I thought of a simple tomato sauce that would work well with all kinds of cooking.*If you don't have a blender, you can use canned chopped tomatoes. *If you're using fresh tomatoes, chop them up and then heat them in the microwave (I cooked 3 tomatoes for 5 minutes).Please simmer them after blending. If you want to preserve the fresh taste of the tomatoes, then you don't have to add them to the blender. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
