All-Purpose Tomato Sauce Base image

An incredibly healthy savory sauce that I use as a base for everything - chili, spaghetti, lasagna, everything! I use all the surplus from my veggie garden for this recipe, then freeze the sauce. Making the base takes several hours to cook down, but then come winter, you can make spaghetti or lasagna in a flash!
