I love a truly from scratch sauce with fresh tomatoes from my garden. (realfoodallergyfree.com)
Response: You can add ready made tomato puree (1/3 cup) or ready made tomato paste (2 tablespoons) instead of fresh tomato in this recipe. (foodviva.com)
You can also use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes, and of course omit the chili pepper if you prefer a less spicy version. (greenevi.com)
