Basic Tomato Sauce
All-purpose, basic tomato sauce is not just limited to italian dishes - it's adaptable in many ways, so please try this out.
If sterilizing jars is too much work, you can freeze the sauce in ziplock bags. The reason why I used different size jars is that I use different amounts when use the tomato sauce for making pizza sauce vs. making pasta sauce. I haven't added any spices or herbs, and just a minimal amount of salt, so that the sauce can stay flexible enough to be used in various recipes. Recipe by Ulisse

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the olive oil in a pan, add the garlic which has been crushed with the side of a knife, and sauté until fragrant. Add the roughly chopped up vegetables.
- 2
Sauté slowly over medium heat until the vegetables are a little browned around the edges.
- 3
Add all the tomatoes at once, and mix with the sautéed vegetables, scooping them up from the bottom of the pot.
- 4
Raise the heat to high. After 3 minutes the tomatoes will start to soften and fall apart. Add the salt at this point.
- 5
Use a wooden or bamboo spatula to mash the tomatoes against the sides of the pan. They'll be crushed easily since they will be quite soft by this point.
- 6
When all the tomatoes have been softened and crushed, set the heat to low-medium and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- 7
When the sauce has reduced by about 20%, it's done. Strain the sauce at this point. You can also push it through a wide-mesh sieve.
- 8
When the sauce is strained it looks like this. The bowl on the far side contains the skins and meat of tomatoes that were left over.
- 9
I made a lot this time so I packed it in jars. Prepare some jars (like empty jam jars, for example) by sterilizing them in boiling water.
- 10
I used a variety of differently sized jars. Fill them all to the top as shown in Step 9, leaving no gap at the top.
- 11
Put on the lids, and place the jars upside down in a deep pot and completely immerse in hot water. Boil for 20 minutes to sterilize.

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

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.

Tomato Sauce 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.

Basic Homemade Tomato Sauce Basic Homemade Tomato Sauce
10 years ago, I heard Chef Ochiai (a celebrity chef in Japan) saying that if you roast whole vegetables, you can really bring out their umami and fragrance to make a rich sauce! And that you could store the sauce in the refrigerator! I've been making my own version at home and keeping it on hand since then.When sautéing the aromatic vegetables, brown them properly in order to make a rich tasting tomato sauce. Then, just simmer! Since the aromatic vegetables are removed, I could keep the sauce in containers sterilized with boiling water for more than a month in the refrigerator. You can use this sauce on pasta, on sautéed chicken, in egg dishes and all sorts of recipes. Recipe by kebeibiko -
