homemade spicy tomato sauce

A good tomato sauce is the basis for so many dishes such as pizza, pasta, casseroles, chicken etc. Here is a delicious homemade spicy tomato sauce recipe.

A basic tomato sauce is not hard to make. Unlike a lot of recipes floating around the internet this recipe contains fresh tomatoes. If you do not like spicy just leave out the chili pepper.


Making the Sauce

The sauce starts with cooking the onion slowly along with chili pepper and garlic, until translucent, then adding the tomatoes and simmering it on low-heat so that the flavor continues to build.


Serving the Tomato Sauce


  • 🍅 Chunky Sauce: you can use tje sauce as it is after cooling it down
  • 🍅 Smooth Sauce: Let the sauce cool down and then blend in the blender


Storing the Tomato Sauce

Let the sauce cool, then transfer it into freezer containers or freezer bags. Sauce can be kept frozen for at least three months
