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.
