What is it?

A very smooth, pourable sauce made of puréed, cooked tomatoes. It tends to be thinner than strained tomatoes. Quality can vary widely among brands; look for tomato sauce made from tomato purée rather than tomato paste and water. Some brands add salt and some seasonings. It’s generally used as a component in recipes rather than poured directly on pasta or pizza.
