I often open a jar of tomato sauce to make a quick weeknight dinner or a last-minute request for pasta in one of my children's school lunches. Equally often, I find myself using only a portion of the jar and throwing the rest in the refrigerator, where it ends up forgotten.
Instead of tossing half a jar of sauce in the garbage two weeks later, I now freeze leftover tomato sauce into ice cube trays and when they are frozen, simply toss into a labelled freezer bag (it will bring you back to your homemade baby food days!).
Now I can easily take out a couple of cubes and defrost for that school lunch or when I'm making these super yummy Big Batch Meatballs.
