Ok, we have to admit it: We love a good tomato sauce, whether it's from a jar or one that we make from scratch. Chances are if you're into the delicious sweetness and acidity of tomatoes (and making killer dishes with them) you're a fan, too.
This sauce base is the key ingredient in some of the most classic Italian meals around, such as spaghetti.

This handy pantry staple is super versatile and can be used to make chilis and soups, as a topper for eggs, and even spruce up a pot of steamed mussels.
