Versatile Tomato and Herb Sauce

Pasta, Gnocchi, Pizza, Baked Potatoes….

I use this sauce as a base for a number of different meals. It's so simple. It can be premade and refrigerated or frozen in portions and can be added to or used as is. It's also super cheap, coming in at less than $1.50 per 500g.
