Tomato Sauce

Tomato Sauce

This homemade Tomato Sauce is so easy to make. It's the perfect go to sauce to batch cook. Being so versatile, there are endless options for how you can enjoy it such as with meatballs, pasta, pizzas and more! 

I always have a stock of my Homemade Tomato Sauce in the freezer. That way I can easily make up quick 20 minute meal weeknight dinners like my Tortilla Pizzas.

I also freeze smaller portions for school lunches - simply defrost in the fridge overnight, reheat in the morning and stir through pasta. Send in as a hot meal in one of my Food Flask's for a lunch that your child will love!
