Recipe: How To Cook Easy Tomato Sauce

Tomato sauce refers to a variety of tomato-based sauces that are often served as part of a meal rather than as a side dish.

Tomato sauces are commonly used for meat and vegetables, but they’re best recognized as the base for carbs like rice and spaghetti dishes.

Tomatoes have a deep taste, a high water content, a soft flesh that breaks down easily, and the proper composition to thicken into a sauce without the use of thickeners.

All of these characteristics make them great for easy-to-make sauces.
