This is an all-purpose tomato sauce that you can use for pasta, pizza, and various other dishes that require a tomato base (anywhere a red sauce is needed). The great thing is you don't have to cook it, and you can freeze it in small portions. I like to freeze mine in large ziploc bags in portions of about 6-8 cups, as well as in 2-cup size reusable plastic containers.
4 12-oz. cans tomato paste
8 cups hot water
1/2 cup dried parsley
1/2 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced garlic (about 36 cloves
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp salt
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried thyme
4 28oz. cans tomato sauce
4 28-oz. cans diced tomatoes
Mix tomato paste and hot water in a large stockpot until smooth. Stir in parsley, onion, garlic, sugar, salt, basil, oregano, and thyme.
Add tomato sauce and diced tomatoes; mix well. Do not cook.
Measure sauce into appropriate portions for immediate use. Divide remaining sauce evenly among freezer bags and/or containers for later use.
Seal and label each bag/container with amount of sauce inside. Freeze.
