Italian Style Tomato Sauce, the easy way!

One of the staples of most things that I make is tomato sauce, in one form or another. Because of this, I have a short cut way to make really good sauce! If you are looking for the kind of sauce that takes hours to make and has real onions and garlic, keep looking! The recipe below has the homemade taste without all of the fuss. Enjoy:)

Tomato Sauce Ingredients

You need: 
1 can of crushed tomatoes. (Tuttorosso is the best)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon basil (dried)
1 1/4 tablespoons sugar
Dash of salt and pepper

Combine these ingredients in a sauce pan and cook for 20-30 minutes on a low boil. Make sure to keep in on a low boil, otherwise the sauce thickens up and starts to burn. 


The thing I really love about this recipe is that you can make it to your own taste. If you want a hotter sauce, add more garlic powder. If you don't like it as sweet as I do, add less sugar. Do a lot of tasting along the way! Enjoy:)
