Has No Life - Lives on TB
Help!
Thanks to the Mid South Food Bank, I am up to my ears in cans of common, ordinary tomato sauce. This is not spaghetti sauce, or tomato paste, or canned tomatoes. This is canned tomato sauce.
i have no idea what to do with plain, ordinary tomato sauce. BTW, the ingredient list on the label saus it is made of tomatoes, sea salt and water. So I figure it is probably the foundation for many different types of dishes, and if I can learn to use it, then my wife and I will be greatly blessed to have all this tomato sauce.
My wife has an old, 1964 edition of The Joy of Cooking, and I thought for sure I would find what I needed there.
But to my surprise, they didn’t have anything at all.
They had two recipes that used a combination of fresh/canned whole tomatoes combined with canned tomato paste. That was about it. That really surprised me, especially how big that book is.
Anyway, can you all help an old guy figure out how to use seceral cases worth of canned tomato sauce?
I would especially like to learn how to turn it into the more familiar spaghetti sauce that I serve with spaghetti (our favorite is Prego spaghetti sauce which I mix ground beef into) and pizza sauce that I can spread on top of flattened biscuits and top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
What kind of spice mix would need to be added to plain tomato sauce to turn it into something like Prego spaghetti sauce, or pizza sauce?
Do you all have any other suggestions for how I can utilize this large cache of canned tomato sauce?
Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
