I made a big batch of Tomato Sauce for the Paella I posted earlier, and keep the rest in jars in the fridge for later use. These sauces can keep for about 2 weeks. To keep them longer, freeze them in freezer safe containers. Thaw when it is needed; you can add any fresh herbs, spices, veggies, or meats desired.

Homemade Tomato Sauce  is one of the basic recipes I am sharing: making things from scratch, making the ingredients I once thought magically appeared in a jar/can. The other basic recipes I posted were homemade Yogurt and homemade Roasted Walnut Butter.

Tomato sauce made from scratch is homey and delicious–and so surprisingly easy!

Recipe type: Sauce

Serves: 3 cups

Ingredients

• 10 Ripe Tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2-3 tablespoon chopped Parsley
• Salt and freshly cracked Pepper

Instructions

1. Using a knife, slit a cross on the tomatoes.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the tomatoes into boiling water until skin starts to peel, about 1 minute.
   
3. Remove into a large bowl and let the tomatoes rest until cool enough to handle, then remove the skin.
4. Roughly mashed with a fork and and puree in blender or food processor. (I used a hand mixer)
   
5. In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil on medium heat, cook onion and garlic until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
6. Add pureed tomatoes, basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
   

Notes

To keep the sauce longer, keep in freezer-safe containers. Simply thaw it as needed; you can add any fresh herbs, spices, veggies, or meats desired.
