Harvest Bread and Provisions Tomato Sugo is a classic, pantry-style sauce made with a short list of familiar ingredients and a traditional cooking approach. Built around ripe tomatoes and gently cooked with onions, garlic, olive oil, and herbs, this sugo delivers a balanced, savoury flavour suited to a wide range of dishes.
The sauce has a rich yet clean profile, with the natural sweetness of tomatoes supported by olive oil and aromatics rather than heavy seasoning. A small amount of sugar is used to round out acidity, while salt and pepper bring the flavours together without dominating. The result is a versatile tomato base that feels honest and adaptable rather than overly styled.
Harvest Bread and Provisions focuses on thoughtful preparation and dependable pantry foods. This tomato sugo is designed to be used generously, whether stirred through pasta, spooned over vegetables, or used as a base for slow-cooked meals.

Additional Information
Tomato sugo is a foundational sauce in many kitchens, valued for its simplicity and flexibility. By keeping the ingredient list short, the flavour of tomatoes remains the focus, allowing the sauce to adapt easily to different cuisines and cooking styles. Olive oil provides richness, while onions and garlic build depth during cooking.
This style of sauce works equally well in quick weekday meals and slower preparations. It can be used as a straightforward pasta sauce, layered into baked dishes, or simmered with vegetables, legumes, or proteins to create more complex meals. Its balanced seasoning makes it easy to customise with additional herbs, chilli, or fresh ingredients depending on preference.
In everyday use, tomato sugo is often paired with pasta shapes that hold sauce well, but it also performs reliably as a pizza base, a topping for eggs, or a component in casseroles and stews. Keeping a dependable sugo on hand supports flexible meal planning and reduces the need for multiple sauces.
