Here in this post I'll share with you how I made a tomato based sauce and used it for three different meals—boiled rice with sauce, plain spaghetti with sauce, and jollof spaghetti. With just a few ingredients, I was able to create a variety of meals without extra effort. In this post, I’ll show you how to make this multipurpose sauce and use it in different ways to enjoy a satisfying, flavorful meal.

Below are the few ingredients I used:

Ingredients used

8 Fresh tomatoes
1 cooking spoon Tomato paste
1 medium size Onions
10 Fresh Pepper
1 teaspoon Dry pepper
2 cooking spoon Vegetable oil
Curry leave to taste
1 cup of rice
1 pkt spaghetti

First I chop the onions and tomatoes and set it aside.

Grind the pepper in a mortar and also set it aside

Next I put the tomatoes and onions to boil in a pot, allow allow them to cook down for some minutes

Next I added the vegetable oil to it and stirred properly. I then added the tomatoes paste and I was stirring for a few minutes

I also added the ground pepper and salt. And stirred for a few minutes. And when it was done I added the curry leaves and it was done

After the sauce was done I boiled my rice and kept it aside. Then I I boiled the spaghetti too

After parboiling the spaghetti I divided into two put one part in a pot, the I poured in some of the sauce to mix it in the spag.

And after stirring it in, I heat it up properly and it was done

So after this I was ready to serve my 3 in 1 meal. I now had, boil spaghetti, boiled rice, jollof spaghetti and my sauce.

I love eating this sauce in these three ways, it was hard to make a choice so I decided to serve the three in one plate for myself.
