Tomato Sauce is a very basic recipe, but also very versatile!
It works well with pasta as it is, or as a base for vegetable and fish sauces. You can also eat it with some polenta, or use to make lasagna, among many other preparations.
This is the way we prepare tomato sauce in Southern Italy.

Add 1½ cups of tomato purée
Stir it and cook for 15m. The tomato sauce is ready
Enjoy! Season with salt and pepper, put it over some pasta, and you will be set!
