Tomato sauce in a pan

Did you know that you can cook tomato sauce in a pan? Yes, not in a saucepan at all! Only, of course, the pan should have high sides, as well as a thick bottom and walls. Grandma's cast iron, as well as modern heavy forged or cast aluminum cookware is ideal. Thanks to the thick walls and bottom, such pans warm up perfectly, distribute heat evenly and keep it for a long time. As a result, not even quenching occurs inside the container, but languor, which is what we need in this case. Tomato sauce in a frying pan turns out to be unusually tasty and aromatic: you can add it to pasta and kebabs, stew meatballs in it, put it in borscht and cabbage soup.
