Growing up, our homemade tomato sauce (Affiliate Link) was a staple in my house. My mom would make it homemade, and she taught me how to make it too.  Visit our other homemade tomato sauce recipe to try it today! She would always make it plain, just with whole tomatoes and some herbs and pepper.  It is so easy to do.  I make my tomato sauce (Affiliate Link) these days but add various ingredients to make it a little different. This past week, I was swamped, so I wanted something quick and easy.  So, I looked in my pantry (Affiliate Link) and put together this Tuna and Artichoke Tomato Sauce (Affiliate Link) recipe.

Bring to a boil. And cook for 15 minutes at a low temperature or until the excess water evaporates.

NOTE: I tilted the lid for the last 5 minutes so water could evaporate.  If you want it even drier, you can tilt the lid for the entire 20 minutes. After finishing the sauce, remove the lid and take it off the burner.  

Here is what it looked like in the skillet when it was finished.

Cook pasta or heat the bread you choose. I used gluten-free pasta, but this dish would also be great on toasted Italian bread.  Yum!  

NOTE: If you want a slightly more watery sauce, you can add 1 or 2 tablespoon of butter to mix with the sauce and pasta at the end.

After the pasta is cooked, pour the mixture over it, add a few slabs of butter on top of the sauce, and mix it in. Then, enjoy the dish with your family.  

Below is the finished Tuna and Artichoke Tomato Sauce (Affiliate Link) Recipe. What do you think? Would you try it?
