A flavourful and versatile tomato sauce is such an amazing staple to have in your kitchen. It’s really worth making a big batch while you’re at it – do this on the weekend, when you have time. You can add almost any protein to this sauce. For some recipes the sauce can be the base for the meal (see the Easy chicken parmesan in the tips in the recipe) and other times it’s a delicious accompaniment.
