Homemade Tomato Sauce Recipes

It's so hard to find an actual from scratch recipe for tomato sauce. In the end I just made up my own. The quantities below are approximate; I usually just throw in whatever I have on hand.

This is a sauce I make for over rice and pasta. It is full of fresh veggies and is easy to make.

This is a family recipe (usually made in large batches from scratch for the family but this particular recipe is broken down into smaller portions for recording purposes).

it's mine

Quick and easy sauce for weekly cooks

My Italian Mother In Laws recipe

This is the tomato sauce that my mom taught me with a bit of tweaking for the seasonings that I like. You should play around with the seasonings and amounts as well to suit your tastes. And the Splenda is optional. My family likes sweet tomato sauce, but if you like tangy, then leave it out. =)

Hope you enjoy!

This makes 6 cups, enough for 3 recipes. It freezes great.

I got this sauce recipe from the internet and mainly use it in pasta dishes with chicken, fish, seafood, etc.

Its really versatile, I like to make loads and freeze it. Then I can make a quick meal by frying some meat, or adding pre cooked prawns and serving with pasta.

I use this sauce without meat for when I make a vegetarian pasta dish. During the summer when they are readily available, you can substitute fresh tomatoes for the canned version. You can also add ground meat of your choice, or an Italian sausage if you wish.

This is a great tomato sauce recipe. I use for my spaghetti and as a sauce for pizza. It's easy to do and tastes great.

This sauce is great for freezing and using whenever you want homemade sauce.

Delicious and easy to make tomato sauce at the end of summer. This recipe is great to freeze, it will stay fresh up to a year in the freezer....just pull out a serving and use it on your next batch of pasta...it is amazing to use for lasagna :)

I left out the oregano and thyme, I like to add for each dish separately (fresh herbs become pungent and bitter if over cooked) .

I made tomato sauce from scratch for the first time and it turned out so good, I went a little crazy. To skin and seed a bushel of plum tomatoes takes hours (for one person) and then the cooking time is another few hours. This is a long project, but well worth the time. I tried my hand at jarring the sauce and it worked very well, but it can be frozen in small batches too. The recipe can also be reduced for a smaller quantity of tomatoes - the amount of onion and garlic is "to taste" as are the spices.

From scratch meat sauce with mushrooms. Serve over spaghetti squash or pasta.

1 can Aldi Tomato Paste
4 cubes Dorot frozen Basil
2 cubes Dorot frozen Garlic

My SIL Jane shared this recipe with me and its the best sauce I have ever had. Made from garden fresh Roma Plum tomatoes that are simmered for three hours to make it just right for my taste buds.
