Italian Tomato Sauce
This sauce is traditionally used in Italy for the bases of pizzas, as well as flavoured breads. I use this sauce as a dipping sauce for example with suppli as an entree. Or a quick easy pasta sauce with fresh basil, shaved parmasan and toasted pinenuts great for crew lunch or guest entree.
