This Homemade Pasta Sauce is easy to do and I love to use it as my go-to sauce for Pasta, Pizza, Lasagna, etc. Made with fresh ingredients, expect a burst of flavours on every spoonful. Nothing is better than homemade sauces, if you start to make them once at home, you’d never go back to store-bought sauce jars. This sauce might not show you rich red colour, but we love natural colours more than artificial ones, aren’t we?
The recipe is simple to follow if you’re trying the recipe, I’d love to know about your experience. 🙂
