Sharing with you today one of my most favourite sauces. I use it for almost any Italian recipe which requires a tomato-based sauce, marinara, pomodoro or arrabbiata. It’s been a favourite from our Dips, Sauces & Spreads workshop, and once you try it, it’ll be your home favourite too!! You will never ever again buy pizza sauce form the market, after tasting how delicious this is, I give you my word for it!
