About

This sauce can be made with tinned tomatoes or passata instead of fresh tomatoes. You can add chopped fresh herbs, but do this after the sauce has finished cooking, and do not reheat it once the butter or oil has been added. Italia’s tomato sauce goes particularly well with the Potato Gnocchi or can be served with pasta.
