This Ravioli with Homemade Tomato Sauce is really easy to make, and perfect for a weekend family dinner.
Ravioli with Homemade Tomato Sauce
When you have a 2nd generation Italian descendant in the family, pasta dishes are frequently on the menu rotation. I try to mix up the different variations and make a few changes to my Homemade Tomato Sauce, depending on what type of pasta I’m serving. This is my recipe for Ravioli with Homemade Tomato Sauce. I love to talk about food and recipes with people when I’m out and about, and I’ve found that many people are intimidated by the thought of making Homemade Tomato Sauce. I always reassure them that the task isn’t too daunting. I think people see the required cook time and worry that it’s too involved. But, it really isn’t. GOOD sauce just needs time to simmer. I also double or quadruple the recipe, and freeze or can it to use later. It drastically reduces the amount of time required in the kitchen, so it can work for a weeknight meal.
First, gather all of your ingredients so everything is handy as you prepare the dish.

This looks so delicious, wish I could eat pasta more often (diabetic).
I love ravioli and this sauce would be so good with many things.
Yum! This looks tasty. Cheese Ravioli is so good!
I have never made my own tomato sauce, but this looks relatively easy so I’m going to give it a shot!
I love ravioli. This recipe looks very doable. Thanks for sharing!
My hubby really loves ravioli. I’ll have to make this for him.
I make my own tomato sauce too. I use frozen ravioli because I can get good quality ones and it’s not worth the effort.
So glad to have found this post! I make pasta with tomato sauce (none of it homemade) at least two nights a week, with enough to have leftovers. When grocery shopping, I always look over the nutrition labels– and I’m just amazed at the sodium content of your typical spaghetti sauce! I’ve never made my own sauce before, but I really ought to give it a try. So: I want to try this sauce recipe! And I’m just starting to grow basil at home, so this could be really great! Thanks for the post. 🙂
I would love to try both recipes. I sounds very good,
I love making my own tomato sauce! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I will give it a try!
I cannot wait to try your special recipe. I thank you for a nice international dish.
This sounds like a delicious fresh sauce. I am pinning because I grow plum tomatoes and basil every year and this would be a perfect recipe for them.
Your homemade sauce sounds wonderful.
Doesn’t sound too hard to make
I’m not a cook but I saved the recipe for my niece. Her husband is a great cook and loves to make Italian food 🙂 Thank you for posting!
I’ve never even attempted to make my own sauce before but this recipe looks yummy and easy to do! I think I will give it a try!
I don’t mind taking the time to make good tomato sauce. I do draw the line at making the ravioli.

We love homemade tomato sauce! I often get caught in a trap where I think I don’t have enough time to make homemade sauce and I end up opening a jar sauce from the market. This recipe is simple enough that it can be made quickly. I have to try this recipe.
I’m impressed how easy the tomato sauce is! I can do this! It’d be used on more than ravioli although the teen would love the ravioli!
I really like ravioli but I haven’t had it in quite a while. This recipe looks simple and delicious.
The homemade tomato sauce sounds great, and healthy too. Thanks for sharing.
This looks good love to try this
This recipe looks delicious!
