Serving Suggestions:

Ingredients:

1 can (28 oz.) crushed or ground Italian plum tomatoes.
1/2 tbs. red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried basil (optional)
1/2 tsp. dried oregano (optional)
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic powder (optional)
Water, as needed
Salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Whisk together tomatoes (use a blender if using whole tomatoes) and other ingredients except the water and salt. Whisk or blend to make a relatively smooth sauce.

2. Taste and adjust by enough enough water to make it only slightly thick. It should be spreadable. Adjust salt to taste. Can be used immediately, refrigerated for up to 10 days, or frozen. The sauce may thicken if not used immediately and require a bit more water.
