Tomato Sauce
5 steps
Cook:45min
Chef’s Notes
Add ground turkey or lean ground beef to make a meat sauce. Cook meat and drain fat. Add veggies and proceed with recipe.
Make a double batch of sauce. Freeze extra for later use.
Add diced zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables if you like.
Try adding 1-2 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar with the spices, for a different flavor.
Serve over whole grain pasta. Or, use in place of canned tomato sauce in other recipes.
