About this recipe
Have you always dreamed of making your own tomato mozzarella sauce? What do you mean, no? Well, try the recipe anyway. It’s a lot easier and faster than you think. Oh, and it’s delicious with Zucchini Noodles!
The best part: You can make the sauce in a batch. Just fill it into small glass jars, like in the picture below. Let it cool for a little bit, then put the lid on while the sauce is still hot! As the air inside the glass cools down it contracts and pulls the lid on tight. Store the jars in the fridge. I’ve had one in there for three weeks now and it’s still good!
