This sounds right up my street – love the sound of chipotle dried flakes but I’ve never seen them – is there a specific brand you buy?
Hi Laura..I was lucky to find them in a local supermarket but I’m sure you can get them online too.
Thanks!
I love home cooked tomato sauce from scratch. It tastes so fresh.
Me too!
I love adding heat to tomato sauce. Your recipe looks like it will be perfect to add to roasted spaghetti squash. I can’t wait to give it a try.
The smokiness of chipotle sounds great in this sauce. I love adding sauce to my vegetables!
