Tips:

To make the tastiest freezer spaghetti sauce, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. You can also use canned tomatoes, but make sure they are high-quality and have no added salt or sugar.
Use a variety of vegetables in your sauce, such as onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and mushrooms. This will add flavor and texture to the sauce.
Season your sauce with salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary, to taste.
Cook your sauce on low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
Let your sauce cool completely before freezing it. This will help to prevent the sauce from separating.
Freeze your sauce in airtight containers. You can use freezer bags, freezer-safe containers, or even ice cube trays.
