I thought I would show you how I make a small batch of pasta sauce. The decent jars of sauce has gone up to almost 8.00 crazy money! I put a bit of olive oil in a pan and put the tomato paste spread out and let it get a little caramelized then I added water or stock of your choice. If I don't have stock I use better than bouillon. then I add the spices I like and garlic. If you want onions/peppers etc I add it to the oil before I put in the tomato paste.
