Tips for homemade tomato sauce

tomato: Use the best quality tomatoes like San Marzano for the best flavor. For less sauce, diced or crushed tomatoes work well. Fresh tomatoes take longer to cook, but they add a good flavor to the sauce.
Seasoning: This sauce is seasoned with basil, oregano and parsley. For more flavor, add a little bit of Italian seasoning, simple rosemary or some red pepper flakes.
Variations: After puree the sauce in step 3 after seasoning with cream, add the sauté to the pan. Thinly sliced mushrooms, zucchini chopped or any leftover vegetables in the refrigerator will stretch the sauce and add some nutrition!
