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!

In case you do not have tomato puree, increase the quantity of tomatoes by 2 and use Kashmiri red chilli powder for added colour.
You can use this sauce for pizza directly as well.
This sauce freezes well for 3 months in the freezer. Store in a small portion. Thaw only as much as you need.
You can increase the level of spice as per your preference.
