I have to make another confession...I have always wanted to make homemade tomato sauce but I have been so scared I would mess it up. It is so easy to buy jarred tomato sauce that I kept putting off making it until today! I am so excited to share Gwyneth Paltrow's Go-To Tomato Sauce Recipe with everyone. The Go-To Tomato Sauce Recipe is found in her It's All Good cookbook.

Homemade Tomato Sauce Recipe
You may have seen my interview with Gwyneth Paltrow about her cookbook last week. (Can I just say it is really crazy to be able to write that I interviewed Gwyneth Paltrow! Holy cow so crazy!).
When I started this website I never would have imagined having the opportunity to interview major Hollywood Stars and be able to attend movie premieres. Total bucket list moments I never even dreamed were possible.
Gwyneth Paltrow was really sweet and kind during our interview. I was so nervous wondering how it would go but she was truly so sweet.
You can use this tomato sauce recipe with any of your favorite pasta. This recipe smells so good while it is cooking.
