Back to Basics Tomato Sauce

I always like getting back to the basics…back to when life was simple and easy.  That’s precisely what this recipe is…simple and easy.  The hardest part will be to figure out in which dishes you’re gonna use this sauce first.

It’s perfect when you need a quick sauce or a sauce to use with other dishes like lasagna or pizza.  Don’t let its simplicity fool you.  It can definitely hold its own!
