Tomato Sauce

Tomato Sauce is a versatile tomato-based sauce used across Italian and global cuisines as a base for pasta, stews, pizzas and braises; varieties include plain passata and marinara often seasoned with smoked spices. It is low in calories and provides 1.5g of fiber per 100g, along with small amounts of protein and very little fat. Tomato sauces are a good source of vitamin C and carotenoid compounds like lycopene, which act as antioxidants and are one reason this simple pantry staple is considered a nutritious way to boost vegetable intake.
