There's nothing quite like having a batch of delicious, homemade red tomato sauce on hand for whenever you may need it. You can make a double or triple batch of this sauce and freeze it in small containers, which will keep for months. It’s perfect for defrosting when you want to make pizza, baked ziti, spaghetti and meatballs, or any other Italian recipe. The sauce takes less than a half hour to make and features all the red sauce ingredient classics, from crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to grated onions and garlic, good-quality olive oil, dried oregano, and a touch of salt.
