What is tomato sauce made of?

Answer 1

Basic tomato sauceThe recipe below is a great recipe for marinara sauce with mushrooms. But basic tomato sauce like you buy in the can at the supermarket is usually just tomatoes. To make it at home, get the ripest fresh tomatoes you can find. Romas work the best because they have more flesh and less seeds. Peel and seed the tomatoes and put them on to simmer just in their own juice. As they cook, smash them with a potato masher. Cook them until they are very soft and mushy and a lot of the water has evaporated. Put the tomato MASH through a food mill or in a blender or food processor to make it smooth. Then you can use it in any recipe that calls for tomato sauce. Marinara sauce with mushrooms1 small package of tomato paste
