Pasta Sauce with Tomato Paste Recipe

Hello homemade pasta sauce with simple pantry ingredients!  This pasta sauce with tomato paste is our go-to pasta sauce for lazy weeknight meals.

This sauce is so delicious I won’t ever be buying store bought again. I’m a convert, and this sauce is taking our pasta night to a new level.

This Homemade Pasta Sauce with Tomato Paste is:

• Packed with tomato flavor: the tomato paste is really the secret to having bright incredible flavors in your sauce.
• Herby: delicious oregano, basil, and rosemary come together for bold Italian flavors in your sauce
• Garlicky: add raw garlic, minced or pressed
• Made with good for you ingredients: tomato paste, olive oil, herbs, garlic!
• Made with Pantry Staple Ingredients: that you probably already have in your cupboards.

What’s In This Tomato Paste Pasta Sauce?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Tomato Paste: thickens the sauce with a deep bold tomato flavor.  I only use a no salt added tomato paste, so you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
• Garlic
• Oregano: a spice I always put in my tomato sauces!  This dried oregano has a bright and earthy flavor, and goes so well with any toppings you load on.
• Basil
• Dried Rosemary: Which I find has a more subtle flavor than the fresh rosemary. I crushed mine in a mortar and pestle, but you can use the larger dried leaves of rosemary if you’d like.
• Sweetener of Choice
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
