Homemade Pasta Sauce Recipe (with tomato) – How to make pasta sauce

Homemade Pasta Sauce Recipe

I used to buy pasta sauce from Nilgiris and the brands always differ each time due to stock.So it was always a risky factor for me to a get a new brand each time….And as we make pasta rarely the big bottle I purchase never emtpies and by the time the expiry approaches. So these days I never buy pasta sauce…I go in for either instant white sauce recipes or pesto recipes. So this was the main reason for me to try homemade pasta sauce, though I didnt mean to store it for long due to the current cuts. I just referred the recipe and tweaked it to suit our taste.

Homemade Pasta Sauce Recipe

Homemade Pasta Sauce Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Sauce | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

Tomatoes – 3 medium sized
Onion – 1 small
Garlic – 4
Oregano – 1/4 tsp
Black Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
Chilli flakes – 1/2 tsp
Tomato Sauce – 2 tsp
Sugar – 1 tsp(optional)
Oilve Oil – 1 tbsp
Salt – to taste

Method:

  1. Boil enough water and add the tomatoes. Let it get cooked for 2-3 mins till you see the outer skin peeling off. Switch off, cool down and peel of the skin, trim the edges and puree it to a fine paste(no water to be added).Keep aside.

Cool down and store in a clean airtight container.

My Notes:

  • You can even add red / green bell pepper – just puree it and add it along with the tomato puree.
  • It keeps well for 3-4 days when refrigerated, depends on your climatic conditions too.
  • The above measure can be used for 1 servings for 1.5 cups of pasta for each serving.
  • Adding sugar is purely optional.
  • I loved the chunkiness in the sauce so did not add anything more to my pasta separately.
  • Just toss the cooked pasta, add greated cheese and enjoy your pasta anytime!

    You are correct Sharmi. Sticking with one brand here is difficult. After coming to India, I also started to pasta and pizza sauce at home only. Like the colour of the sauce.

    Though i love home made sauce, the tomatoes we get here in local shops won't be too red and kids won't like the pasta sauce in pale color:-( The aroma which fills the entire house when we make the sauce at home is awesome. Nicely done

    Love the flavor of fresh sauce, but since we eat pasta a lot I stock on the bottles. Luckily I get the same brand always.
