Someone gave me fresh tomatoes and I needed a way to prepare them (I won't eat them plain), and this recipe was great! As other reviewers stated it's a good base that can be dressed up any number of ways. I personally added minced garlic, basil, oregano, peppers, a little sugar and salt, and 1 cup of chicken broth, then let it simmer and reduce and thicken for a few hours. It was great with spaghetti and meatballs!!

The first time I made this I used garden fresh tomatoes and omitted the puree, and I didnt really care for it, too plain. The Second time I used garden fresh tomatoes and used the tomato puree that has garlic and basil, I also added fresh garlic and basil. I used less chopped onion and used onion powder (I dont care for onions texture) and it was wonderful! this will definitely replace bottled pasta sauce for a quick meal.

Fantastic! I followed a bit of advice from other reviews. I reduced the amt of olive oil to 2 tbsp and added 1 cup of chicken broth and reduced. I also added 2 cloves of minced garlic, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried basil. The sauce was fantastic as a vegetarian tomato sauce. I used the leftover sauce as part of the marinade in the "marinated grilled shrimp" recipe found on allrecipes.com.

This was super easy and yummy. I love to make things from scratch but didn't have lot of time on this day. I was looking for a pizza sauce recipe and used this as a guide - draining off the extra liquid after letting this simmer for a while. I added sliced mushrooms, a touch of red wine and omitted the tomato puree. This is a good base for making red sauce.

Yay! This was just what I was looking for - a simple, pure recipe. We are eating on a Daniel Fast and can only have pure veggies, no additives or sugar. So I used a can of Firey Diced tomatoes, skipped the puree, added some minced garlic, then blended the cooked ingredients to make a smoother sauce. Smells wonderful cooking and is tasty! Thanks!

It's good. A little watery, but I did use extra tomatoes. I also added some green pepper and garlic with the onion and some basil with the tomatoes. I simmered it for a couple hours, too. It was easily eaten and I'm looking forward to the left overs tomorrow.
