About Tomato basil sauce

Tomato basil sauce is a prepared sauce combining tomato with basil, commonly used with pasta or in other savoury cooking. The name does not specify whether it is smooth or chunky, how much basil it contains, or whether other ingredients are included.

Its colour is usually red, and its flavour pairs tomato’s sweet-tart character with basil’s fragrant herbal note. It may be freshly made, simmered or sold packaged, with oil, onion, garlic and seasonings varying by recipe. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish the actual ingredients and preparation rather than treating all sauces with this name as equivalent.
