Tomato sauce can refer to a large number of different sauces made primarily from tomatoes, usually to be served as part of a dish, rather than as a condiment. Tomato sauces are common for vegetables, but they are perhaps best known as sauces for pasta dishes. Tomatoes have a rich flavour, high water content, soft flesh which breaks down easily, and the right composition to thicken into a sauce when they are cooked (without the need for thickeners such as roux). All of these qualities make them ideal for simple and appealing sauces.
