Tomato Sauce

Toasted Ancho chiles in white vinegar and beef stock along with cumin and brown sugar add a rich character to this orange-lemon juice-infused homemade adobo sauce. This recipe makes plenty enough to store in a refrigerator up to a week or frozen indefinitely in a sterilized jar.

If you want a delicious pasta sauce but don’t have time to simmer & stir for hours, try my quick version! The simple blend of tomatoes, garlic, and savory Italian-inspired spices make this sauce perfect for pasta or a yummy dip for garlic bread.

Onions, garlic, basil leaves and red pepper flakes flavor a simple and fresh tomato sauce making it both hearty and substantial. This sauce is a great base for other Italian classics, or perfect when tossed with al dente pasta.

When you roast tomatoes slowly at low heat, they have a concentrated smoky flavor that is delicious for pasta or sandwiches. My version ups the flavor by roasting them in a savory garlic oil.
