Do you think nothing can match the convenience of store-bought sauces? Wait until you try this homemade sauce! Not only is it more flavorful, but it surpasses all commercial options in freshness, quality, and ease of preparation. Ready to transform your dishes with an ultra-delicious sauce? Follow me, I’ll reveal the ultimate recipe to you. 🔥
Why make your own homemade sauce?
Store-bought sauces are often packed with preservatives, flavor enhancers, and hidden sugars. The result? A standardized, bland, sometimes chemical taste. Making your own homemade sauce means:
✔ Mastering the ingredients: Zero additives, zero coloring. Just good stuff!
✔ An incomparable taste: Fresh ingredients make all the difference.
✔ A recipe that you can adapt to your taste: Want it spicier? Sweeter? Adjust it as you like.
And guess what? It’s super easy! 🙌
The foolproof recipe: your ultra-flavorful homemade sauce 🍅
🛒 The ingredients you need:
- 1.5 kg of ripe tomatoes (choose them nice and red and juicy)
- 2 onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of sugar (to balance out the acidity)
- Salt and black pepper
- Some fresh basil leaves 🌿
👨🍳 Preparation steps:
1️⃣ Prepare your tomatoes: Score them in a cross pattern and plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then into ice water. The skin will come off easily. Cut them into cubes. 🍅
2️⃣ Sauté the aromatics: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil, add the chopped onions and crushed garlic. Sauté until they are translucent.
3️⃣ Add the tomatoes and let simmer on low heat for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4️⃣ Finish the sauce: Add the chopped basil off the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
🌟 Result: a homemade sauce that is fragrant, creamy, and full of flavor!
Game-changing tips 👌
🔥 Want an even creamier sauce? Blend it for an ultra-smooth texture.
🌶 For a spicy touch, add a pinch of Espelette pepper or smoked paprika.
🧄 Want more character? Confine the garlic before incorporating it into the sauce.
💡 Storage tip: Pour your sauce into a sterilized jar and keep it for up to 1 week in the fridge. You can also freeze it in small portions. Handy!
Why this sauce surpasses store-bought ones?
Manufacturers optimize their sauces to maximize shelf life, often at the expense of taste. In a homemade sauce, every ingredient counts!
🔹 Natural texture vs. artificial thickeners
🔹 Fresh and intense flavor vs. artificial aromas

And above all, what a pleasure to say: “I made it myself!” 😍
