Tomato Sauce

Tomato Sauce, classic, delicious and for varied uses, flavored with oregano and basil. An easy sauce that accompanies perfectly meat and vegetable dishes. But also pizzas, bruschetta, sandwiches and of course pasta, any kind of pasta, where it takes off with its presence the flavor of the dish.
Tomatoes are rich in flavor, have high liquid content, have very soft flesh which breaks down quickly, and are a suitable composition to thicken in the sauce when cooked. All these properties make it ideal for a simple and attractive sauce.
Auguste Escoffier ranks it among the five basic sauces (mother sauces) of French Cuisine with:

• Béchamel
• Spanish Sauce
• Velvet
• Dutch sauce

If you want the tomato sauce to have a velvety texture, peel and mash the tomatoes sauce with a blender, at the end of cooking and before storage.
