Tomato sauce is a popular ingredient used in many cuisines in
Mexican, Spanish and Italian food recipes. The sauce is made using
tomatoes and is served as part of the dish as opposed to a side dish. It
is served with meat, vegetables, pasta and more. The flesh of the
tomato breaks down easily and thus makes it right for sauce. Ground
meat, garlic, parsley, basil, onion, oregano and pepper are popular
additions, while broth and water is added to keep the moisture content
high.
