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.

Ravioli with Homemade Tomato SauceHOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE

Homemade Tomato Sauce Ingredients:

6 cups pureed tomatoes (1 8oz can is equal to 1 cup), if using whole tomatoes, it would be about 2 pounds.
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 Cup olive oil
4 Cloves of garlic
Pepper to taste
1 Onion
1/3 Cup basil
*Please don’t let the pureed tomatoes scare you away. It’s not as hard as it may seem to make homemade tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes! Using canned is perfectly fine, but I include the whole tomatoes because, with summer approaching, many people are looking for ways to use up the fresh tomatoes from their gardens.
**You can also add cooked ground beef and/or Italian sausage to the sauce recipe if you like it meatier.

Add the diced onion and the garlic cloves and saute until the onion is clear.
Add the tomatoes, basil and sea salt and simmer for 3 hours.
Remove from heat and add pepper to taste.
Serve with pasta or pizzas and enjoy.

    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. 🙂

    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.

    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!
