]]> Tomato sauce is a major player in a handful of tasty dishes. From pizza to pasta, there are countless recipes that benefit greatly when tomato sauce is added. If you don’t feel like buying tomato sauce at the store and want to try your hand at making tomato sauce at home, here are some tips that’ll ensure it’s as tasty as ever.

Best Tomatoes

The first tip that’ll help you make delicious tomato sauce is to make sure you choose the very best tomatoes. When you’re at the supermarket or farmer’s market, look for firm (but not too firm), bright red tomatoes that have no blemishes.

Creamy Texture

One quality that ensures a tasty tomato sauce is its creaminess. Once you’ve mashed up your tomatoes into a pot, you can optimize their creaminess by mixing in ingredients such as cooking cream, coconut milk, or butter.

Adding Herbs

Another thing that’ll add a nice dose of flavor to your tomato sauce is herbs and spices. It’s really hard to go wrong when it comes to spices in your tomato sauce. Parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, pepper, salt, you name it—whichever combination you decide to go with, you’ll have a flavorful sauce.
