Homemade Tomato Sauce For Pasta And Pizza ( Aldi Ingredients)

This is my homemade tomato sauce for pasta and pizza. This is a pretty straightforward sauce and can be used for pizza and pasta dishes.

Ingredients For My Aldi Homemade Tomato Sauce

My Aldi homemade tomato sauce ”Full Disclosure”

I use all Aldi ingredients except stock pots in this recipe which are knorr.  I do not like the Aldi ones and the Knorr ones are delicious.

I use basic brand plum tomatoes as they are very cheap in comparison to other tomato products. Plum tomatoes produce a delicious sauce if cooked and flavoured well and will save you some money on your groceries.
