Tomato-based pasta sauces
By á-51103
A jar of spaghetti sauce typically runs $2 to $6. The equivalent amount of canned tomatoes is often under $1. Our suggestion: Make your own sauces from canned crushed tomatoes or fresh tomatoes — particularly in the summer, when they are plentiful, tasty, and cheap.
Ingredients
- crushed tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- wine or wine vinegar
- a little sugar
- your favorite herbs
- whatever chopped vegetables you like in your sauce — peppers, onions, mushrooms, even carrots

Preparation
Step 1
The easiest method is to put crushed tomatoes (canned or fresh) into a skillet, stir in some wine or wine vinegar, a little sugar, your favorite herbs, and whatever chopped vegetables you like in your sauce — peppers, onions, mushrooms, even carrots — and let simmer for an hour. Adjust the flavorings and serve.
Even easier: Coat fresh tomatoes and the top of a cooking sheet with olive oil and roast the tomatoes for 20 to 30 minutes at 425˚F before making your stove top sauce.
