This spicy tomato sauce comes from Shareen Campbell & Phil Saunter, lately of Los Gatos tapas bar. Normally served with potatoes roasted then finished in the sauce, this is now a freezer staple in our house. It can be used to whip up really quick, tasty meals in a few moments, and freezes well. It goes especially well with Ikea Swedish Meatballs!
