tomato sauce
Red pasta topping
Tomato sauce is a sauce made from cooked tomatoes, typically seasoned with herbs, garlic, and onions.
It serves as a base for countless dishes—pasta, pizza, shakshuka, braised meats.
In American English, tomato sauce often refers specifically to the smooth, unseasoned canned product, while marinara or pasta sauce names the seasoned version.
In British and Australian English, tomato sauce usually means ketchup.
