Red Sauce (Small Batch)
Modified from Fix, Freeze and Feast
1 (12 oz) can tomato paste
2 cups hot water
2 tbsp. dried parsley
2 tbsp. minced onion
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 (28 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (28 oz) caned diced tomatoes
Mix tomato paste and hot water in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in spices. Add tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Mix well. Do not cook. Either use in recipes or freezer, in 1 cup increments, for later use. If you want to use this for spaghetti (rather than in another recipe), simmer for 20 minutes over medium low. You can add 1 pound of meat per 8 cups of sauce for a meat sauce version.
Makes 10 cups.
