Best All Purpose Tomato Sauce Recipes
ALL-PURPOSE TOMATO SAUCE
For this six-ingredient sauce, puréed tomatoes are simmered with sweet onion, zippy red pepper flakes, and plenty of garlic. A nub of butter stirred in at the end gives the sauce a silky texture that's perfect for spooning over a wide range of Italian favorites.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a pot over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion; season with 1 tablespoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes (if onion colors too quickly, reduce heat to medium). Stir in garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add puréed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened slightly and reduced to 6 cups, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and sauce is uniform in color. If not using it immediately, let the sauce cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to five days, or freeze for up to three months.
ALL PURPOSE SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE
This is an adopted recipe. I am always on the lookout for freezer recipes so that's why I chose to add this one to my collection. Orignal introduction; "I discovered this recipe in a German home and living magazine as a pizza sauce. But I did have some leftover and soon discovered that you can easily use it as a basic pasta sauce or even as tomato soup adding a bit of cream. It freezes well, so feel free to multiply the ingredients. I usually pack a couple of jars when we go on vacation, so I don't have to fuss too much about dinner. These are the original ingredients, but I usually add more garlic and sun-dried tomatoes if they are easily available. In summer I add fresh basil."

ALL-PURPOSE TOMATO SAUCE BASE
An incredibly healthy savory sauce that I use as a base for everything - chili, spaghetti, lasagna, everything! I use all the surplus from my veggie garden for this recipe, then freeze the sauce. Making the base takes several hours to cook down, but then come winter, you can make spaghetti or lasagna in a flash!
