NotesTips on my homemade tomato pasta sauce:
You may also use diced tomatoes (even better tomatoes from the garden) for this pasta sauce recipe. Use the same weight. Another option would be ready chopped tomatoes.
Should you have a problem with Candida overgrowth, add green peas or edamame beans instead of corn.
If you prefer your sauce creamy, transfer everything into food processor or blender and process until desired consistency.
