So delicious! You can't buy pumpkin pasta sauce over here and I once had something similar in a restaurant and so HAD to try and recreate it at home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. The caramelised pecan topping is delicious!

A sauce for spaghetti or pastas

Ok, I'm always in search of perfection as far as tomato sauce goes... It's my own personal "holy grail." (and please, to any and all "real chefs" out there, if you have any suggestions for this recipe, it would be more than welcome) My grandmother made amazing tomato sauce but died from Alzheimers before I could get the recipe from her. Since then I've been experimenting with this recipe constantly. I've tried numerous incarnations, numerous ingredient variants, etc. I feel as if I still don't have it down to perfection, but I have it good enough that it still yields a decent sauce. FYI: this recipe is for a big batch. I designed and cook it this way because it's simply delectable and is perfect to put in containers, freeze, and have on a night where you're simply too busy to make something homemade.P. S. - I know, it's strange putting butter in a tomato sauce, and it seems like alot of butter, but I assure you, that's what makes the recipe.

You can make your own sauce or add pureed veggies to a premade sauce

Pasta sauces can be so varied and I didn't want a typical sugo for my penne pasta this time, not a 'meaty' ragu sauce nor pesto. So, I searched for a sauce that combined all the ingredients that I love in combination to give this pasta sauce a creamy and tomatoey taste. Vodka sauce seemed to be the right thing - it's great without (better for kids) and mostly Carrie's recipe on her #walderwellness page seemed to fit most of my requirements.

We love pasta in our house, so we enjoy it in many ways.I made a variation of my recipe for Chilled Tomato Soup Pasta that tasted more like the "Chilled Tomato Sauce Pasta with a Punch" that's served at Italian restaurants in Japan in the summer.* All the directions are hints, but Steps 11 through 16 are especially important; they will decide the flavor. However, don't squeeze too much in Step 15.* It may seem like there's a lot of garlic, but it's the right amount.* Be careful to preserve the shape of the tomatoes. Recipe by *ai*

Great low fat sauce for pasta. Makes plenty for carbanada pasta bag and a meat like chicken

I had a bunch of leftover 'stuff' in my fridge... so I whipped up this sauce and made a yummy, kid approved meal, by serving the the sauce with fun pasta shapes and cut up hot dogs. Just boil the pasta and hot dogs together. (Omit onions for kids, omit hot dogs for adults)

I always hesitated tossing out the umami-rich oil from canned tuna, so I came up with this recipe to make good use of it.Use the oil from the canned tuna. That's what gives it plenty of umami, and it is thrifty, too. Recipe by Kanpa-nyu!!

I think my family eats this meat sauce quite a bit ;Since it can be made with ketchup when you don't have tomato sauce, please try it out.Once you get the hang of it, it will be really easy.After adding the flour, make sure to continue cooking gently while stirring, until no longer powdery.After all of the ingredients have been added, if the heat is too high it will burn, so keep your eye on it as it simmers.

I harvested a lot of basil from the a pot in my garden, so I tried adding some to my usual tomato sauce.If you cook down the sauce too much, thin it out a bit with pasta cooking water.If you don't simmer the sauce enough though it will be watery.If you don't have fresh basil, substitute dried basil.If you don't like the sourness of tomato, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Delicious pasta sauce; vegan or not, you will love it! You can add vegetables, and/or if you're the carnivorous type, any meats!
