Homemade tomato sauces often taste richer than store-bought varieties, primarily due to the inclusion of herbs. Many jarred sauces lack the vibrant taste associated with fresh, small-batch preparations. Basic ingredients lead to an opportunity to customize flavors using various herbs. For simple preparation, basil is a great starting point, while oregano and thyme can add depth, making your sauce a more flavorful accompaniment to pasta dishes.
Herbs play a big role in building the homey, organic flavor of at-home tomato sauces. Even our quick recipe includes dry basil.
Canned tomato sauces usually aren't herbed, which is the exact reason why they taste a bit off compared to homemade.
Starting with a blank canvas of tomato purée allows you to tailor your sauce with whatever herbs you prefer, creating unique flavors.
Basil is the safest herb choice to begin with, but experimenting with oregano and thyme can enhance the depth and flavor of your sauce.
