Make a quick tomato sauce at home – got multiple meals out of it!

Originally this was a quick marinara sauce made from a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes (accidentally got one with basil and herbs included), dried minced onions and garlic from the spice rack, salt and pepper to your taste, honey (or white sugar) to remove acidity, crushed red pepper to your level of heat and EVOO – a 1/4 c if using fresh onions and garlic or 2 TBS if using dried minced versions from the pantry. Mix, boil and simmer for 20 minutes or longer if you have the time. I like to use a 12” skillet to do this and partially cover when simmering.

Made 2 meals of chicken parm (4 servings) another lunch special of chicken parm and since the taste was versatile I used on a homemade pizza (roughly 12”). Still have a little leftover…maybe mozzarella sticks in my future idk. Plenty of other uses besides here – even transform it into bbq sauce if imaginative enough and you whip out the blender or food processor.
