This simple homemade Tomato Sauce is one of those recipes you’ll find yourself making again and again. It’s incredibly fast, uses basic pantry ingredients, and works beautifully in almost any recipe that calls for red sauce. The best part? You can make it year-round — no fresh tomatoes required.

Whether you’re tossing it with pasta, spreading it on homemade pizza, spooning it over chicken, or using it as a dip, this sauce delivers classic flavor with minimal effort.
