Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear on my question. It is confusing, which is why it's so hard to find a good recipe! But I'm looking for this stuff, which isn't pasta sauce, it's just an ingredient in a sauce or recipe. You use it for a lot of different recipes that aren't pasta/pizza related, which is why it's much more simple, basically just tomatoes and salt. I'm sure this is at least a little wrong, but I think of tomato paste, tomato sauce, and tomato puree as sort of the same thing on different spots on the continuum of texture with tomato paste being the driest, tomato sauce in the middle, and tomato puree being the wateriest. Hope that clears it up!

This is amazing, thank you! I will have to look into that book..

This is what I was hoping to do as well! I was just worried that I would get the consistency wrong for the recipes I like. Like, I know tomato puree is very similar to tomato sauce aside from how watery it is, which can make an impact on a recipe if you get it wrong

Unfortunately, tomato paste and tomato sauce are not the same thing. I know you can make tomato sauce from tomato paste, but that feels like a pretty roundabout way of doing things. Could be a somewhere to start though as a last resort 🤔

Tomato sauce Recipes?? (self.allthingsfoodandcooking)

Okay, maybe a silly question, but I am looking for recipes for tomato sauce. Not pasta sauce, not spaghetti sauce, but the stuff that comes in the little 8oz cans that's basically just tomatoes and salt! We use a ton of it in different recipes and I'd love to be able to make my own, but when I try to look it up I only get recipes for pasta sauce!!

I'm sure it's not that hard, but I know the texture has to be just right (to a certain extent) for it to work in other recipes. Has anyone made their own tomato sauce/have any tried and true recipes? Please share your wisdom 🙏

Edit: This stuff below, different from tomato paste, but very similar!
