Thick, rich and full of flavor, this Fire Roasted 20-Minute Pasta Sauce will have you giving up your store purchased sauce. Serve it with your favorite pasta, or use it as a pizza sauce.
This is by far one of my favorite go-to pasta sauce because it takes only 20 minutes. When meal planning I make it and store in my fridge until ready to use for the week. But it’s so easy that you can make it while waiting on the water to boil and the pasta to cook.
Growing up my Mom used pasta sauce from a jar, but she always had me chop extra veggies to add-in, which is why I like hearty sauces.
Unlike my childhood days, I used a food processor to chop the carrots to get them into small pieces. The other veggies were chopped by hand and added to the pan with the carrots before adding the diced fire roasted tomatoes and sauce.
After 10 minutes of simmering you’ll have a chunky pasta sauce. You can serve the sauce thick and chunky or process in the food processor for just a few seconds and make a less chunky sauce. Just look at all of that chunky goodness!
I processed the sauce to make a mouth-watering recipe that I will be sharing with you all next week. It’s a super delicious one you don’t want to miss.

You can’t go wrong with homemade pasta sauce! I love that you used fire roasted tomatoes too. So good!

Full of flavor and more control over the ingredients.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have been dying to learn how to make my own pasta sauce! This looks so delicious and I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Christina, I’m glad you like it. Please let me know how it works for you.
This looks really good! I also like the extra helping of veggies. Thanks for sharing at the Over the Moon Party.
This looks delicious! I have never been able to find fire roasted tomatoes where I live though- so do you have another alternative for this?
Hi Christina, If you can’t find fire roasted tomatoes and you still want the heat that they give, you can just add red pepper flakes to your sauce.
Good luck, I hope this helps.
Yum! I love the idea of using fire roasted tomatoes to add a different flavor to traditional pasta sauce! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday this week.
I think it gives it a bit of a kick, but not too hot.I’m glad you like it.
I make my own marinara sauce too and I love that when I make homemade pasta sauce, I can incorporate vegetables in it for my kiddos. Thank you for sharing this over at #healthyliving link party and hope to see you again!

I like putting the carrots in for an extra bit of veggies. It was the best way to hide them from my daughter when she was younger.
