Quick Pasta Sauce Recipe

I really didn't expect this sauce to taste as great as it did- I will never buy another jar of sauce. It cooked faster than the pasta and was a very sweet sauce! I did add some oregano and extra basil. The beauty of this is that you can add anything to it and it's great- I added green pepper, mushrooms (drained), and some italian sausage- perfect for the chunky sauce lover. It was awesome!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!

Nice and simple, I fry 150g of chopped onions before frying the garlic and add a 1/2 teaspoon of cumin power 30 seconds before adding the tomatoes, yummy

I realized too late that I was out of jarred pasta sauce. I searched online for something quick and easy, and this recipe more than met that criteria! I didn't expect it to be as delicious as it is! I added fresh bell peppers & vine ripened tomatoes, then simmered it until the peppers were cooked cooked through. The entire family, including a child who "despises" tomatoes & any type of peppers, adored it & all requested that I make it again soon! This will be my go-to recipe from now on! I will NEVER use jarred pasta sauce again!

This was really quick and easy to make. I used diced tomatoes and added shallots and a bay leaf to the mix. I smashed the tomatoes with a potato smasher as it cooked to even out the consistency. So much better than store bought any day! And no worries about added sugar and other hidden additions!

This was very quick prep and tasty good! I added an additional large can of concentrated crushed tomatoes and 2 teaspoons of ground italian seasonings. Instead of cooking for 20 minutes I cooked for 3 hours on low with a large bay leaf. Added into the sauce I used the Three Animal Meatball recipe from this site.

I added 1 T. sugar (just because!) and used my immersion blender to puree after simmering in the pot - LOVED IT! We like sauce without tomato paste, and this had plenty of flavor and texture without it.

This was quick and easy for a starter. I added a small can of tomato paste, half a cup of red wine, half a cup of chicken broth,a little water and italian seasonings.

I was skeptical because this recipe has such great reviews but the ingredients list was missing something to balance the tartness of the canned tomatoes. I made it anyway because of the glowing reviews and it was so sour! Most recipes using canned tomatoes use brown sugar or balsamic vinegar to cut the tartness, which is what I had to do to salvage it (along with adding tomato paste and more spices).

this was so fast and easy! i added some onions in with the garlic and also put in some tomato paste to help thicken it. delish!

Made this tonight because I ran out of Prego for my lasagna. The most sensitive child noticed a difference but she said it was a good one. I only modified it to make it smell like what I wanted to taste. I added 2tsp sugar and oregano based on what I wanted to taste. I only had powdered basil so I added 1/4tsp to 1/2tsp. Again, it was based on smell. In the end I added graded parm to the sauce after it mixed it in w/the meat. This was a very good quick sauce base.

I used what I had on hand and WOW, so good. I used 1 can petite diced tomatoes (w/olive oil & garlic) and one can plain. Also used fresh basil from a tube that I keep in the freezer. We used this sauce over manicotti, with garlic bread, and a salad, a glass of Pinot Grigio...great dish...thanks!

Very quick and tasty, I added some kalamata olives, bit more garlic, bit of chilli and tomato puree. Will definitely make this again. Thank you. 👍🙂

I added hamburger and put on small fresh loaf pieces!!!! Just amazing!

This is the first time i have ever made my own pasta sauce and it was a hit! It's a great base recipe, I added a little brown sugar and it was perfect. I also only had diced canned tomatoes but they cooked down nicely. No complaints here!

I like it delicious 😋especially when you put brown sugar and seasoning while stirring before you put it on your meal whether stews 😋😋😋

Even my roommates were impressed.

Quick, simple & tasty

This recipe was quite delicious and I’d say If you don’t have crushed tomatoes like me, purée is a great substitute!

Tastes like sadness. Watery, bland and lacking much flavor. Doctoring a jar of anything is easier and tastier.

Made as written to start with and this needs more flavor. My recommendations are to switch out the basil to Italian seasoning so that you get oregano and all of the other flavors that go with it and double it at that. This WAS quick and easy so high props there. I added cooked ground beef in the end and it needs this or you end up with a very watery sauce. Great jumping off point but this recipe needs tweaks.
