    🛒 Before You Checkout

    What you need to know before you checkout at the grocery store or market:

    Whenever you are making a homemade tomato sauce always try to use a paste tomato, even if you can't find San Marzano. You are going to have more sauce if you use a meaty tomato instead of a juicy beefsteak style. You will end up having to boil off more liquid, which will take more time and produce less sauce.

    Even if you paid a little more money for a paste tomato you will get a lot more sauce. I always think it's worth it to find whatever paste tomato you can get. Fresh roma tomatoes will work and are usually decently priced in the store.
