Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

olive oil, to saute vegetables
2 cups carrot, chopped
4 cups onion, chopped
2 cups red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
5 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 ½ cups tomato paste
8 cups whole peeled tomato
2 cups water
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot at medium-high heat, add the olive oil and carrots to the pot. Cook the carrots for about 10 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
  • Next add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, celery, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the pot and cook until the vegetables are caramelized and tender.
  • Add the tomato paste, stir it into the vegetables, and allow the tomato paste to brown deeply. It should be very aromatic before moving forward.
  • Add the canned tomatoes and water, bring the sauce to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the sauce for at least 1 hour.
  • Add the sauce to a blender in batches or use an immersion blender to puree the sauce to your desired consistency.
  • Let the sauce cool completely and then pour the sauce into freezer-safe bags. Place the bags into a leak-proof container/tray, and freeze for up to one month.
  • Reheat the frozen sauce with ½ cup (120 ml) of water in a pot until it comes to a boil and then use as desired.
  • Enjoy!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own twist to it. I usually add some chopped mushrooms and zucchini to the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out bland. I think I might have used the wrong type of tomatoes.

This sauce is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This tomato sauce is amazing! It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on pasta, pizza, and even as a dip for vegetables. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, too.
