About this Recipe
Now lets talk about this sauce. I always wanted to post a basic pasta sauce in this blog after i shared the simple pizza sauce recipe which was years back. I wanted to add some vegetables in my pasta sauce to make it tasty and healthy..Finally i made the pasta sauce and used it in a very very special recipe which will be posted tomorrow. Pasta sauce and tomato sauce are similar but not the same. The primary distinction between tomato sauce for pasta and pizza sauce is that pasta sauce is cooked as part of the sauce preparation process, whereas pizza sauce is an uncooked tomato sauce that cooks alongside the pizza. People frequently use tomato sauce to make pasta sauces or spaghetti sauce, so it makes sense to substitute one of these options. Pin
