Pasta Sauce (Gluten-Free)

Keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work.

If finding a safe gluten-free pasta recipe is work, why are you adding an 8 oz. can of tomato sauce to your recipe, especially if you are calling it a homemade pasta recipe? It seems to me that I could still use just the can of tomato sauce with a can of tomatoes and have the same thing, and throw in a few of my favorite ingredients. This is not much of a homemade recipe. I thought you said that finding a gluten-free pasta sauce was work? Not much work there: it is the same as any pasta sauce recipe. What am I missing?

Lighten up, Vince man! It's just a recipe! And, as for what you are missing (since you seem to be unaware), a lot of new celiac patients (like me 15 years ago) have no idea what is actually in a good pasta sauce since they have never been forced to make it from scratch, much less fiddle around with the recipe. So asking them to "add a few favorite ingredients" like you suggest is a bit naive. Every site needs a good basic recipe and in my opinion, this is it... gluten-free and low glycemic.

I was looking for a recipe where I could use my garden fresh tomatoes in preparing sauces.

I agree with Vince. There is nothing home made about this recipe.

Then why don't you keep looking for a recipe? Is the negativity necessary? I appreciate it very much.

This is a great beginners recipe. you give the option of adding prepared sauce or using tomato paste and sauce. it's amazing how many people have never experienced spices and herbs. This helps broaden their menu planning, at the least! Enjoy!

She means, It is difficult to find store Jarred or canned pasta sauce without a lot of sugar and questionable ingredients in the US making it yourself is relatively simple an you leave out the questionable ingredients. I found simpler sauces without sugar and extra ingredient at World Market since some of theirs are imported from Italy. Maybe try an Italian market if you don't want to make it
