Just an easy recipe tonight as I use this sauce in an upcoming recipe that will be posted here.
This is a great sauce to make up and freeze into 2-3 batches for future use in main meals or smaller batches. It is great stirred through cooked pasta with a little shaved or grated cheese. It makes a great bolognese sauce with beef or chicken mince and it tastes delicious on pizzas as a base sauce. Spoon over cooked chicken breasts or use as a dip for nuggets and the like. So versatile!

If I put the sauce in a glass jar with the poppy lid and turn upside down so it pops in does that mean I can store it at room temperature?
