Tomato sauce is the basis for so many dishes in our house and is the backbone of recipes from all over the world. It can be transformed into a spicy chilli when added to mince fried with some hot spices and beans, it can be used to top a pizza base, or quickly stirred into some freshly cooked pasta. It is one of the first things I teach people to make when hosting cooking classes for either adults or children.
