More is not always better, it's just more. 

That's my statement that I make every time I enter the kitchen.

For those that spend time with me during all my 'In the kitchen with Dana' segments you know I share easy recipes with a big taste. 

Just plain yummy 5-ingredient tomato sauce is going to change the way you create all of your food. 

In fact, this sauce does not even have a spice in it and it totally holds its own. 

Right now, if you are a sauce-head you are shaking your head and saying 'ain't no way!' 

Keep reading if you want to experience just plain good. 

Just plain yummy 5-ingredient sauce is made with only the best ingredients. 

Get ready to be dazzled with an assault of richness and flavor. 

Better yet, just plain good 5-ingredient tomato sauce is a base to many other recipes I prepare. 

In order to really understand how good this 5-ingredient tomato sauce is, you'll have to make it and taste it to believe it! 
I have a passion for plain and simple. 
However plain does not mean any of my food lacks taste. 
Defining plain means fewer ingredients to deliver a truer, richer,  taste. 
Every single finger swipe through this sauce will have you wanting to dip for more. 
Don't, you need to use a spoon. 
So, instead, take a spoon and swipe through, and get a new spoon and do it again. 
Careful, once you start, you might literally eat all the sauce with all of your spoons and never will it make it to pasta! 
5-ingredient tomato sauce is possible and you won't find any better. 
Of course, you can change a few of the ingredients, but I will never. 
Chances are your pantry that has what you need.
