Sicilian Tomato Sauce

Recipe #302281 | 35 min | 15 min prep | 1 1/2 Litre (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Tisme

This is a fantastic sauce to make with end of season Tomatoes. A great recipe to serve with pasta which can be bottled or frozen for later use. Cut down the garlic of you want but I think its just right as is! This can be bottled but please sterilize the bottles well as per instructions.
