Can I keep tomato based pasta sauce in the freezer for emergency?

yes, absolutely - and it is a great idea to make a large batch and freeze it in 'portion size' containers.

I always do. You can also store tomato paste that way in small amounts.

Cream-based pasta sauce will separate if you freeze it. Am I right?

Cream-based sauces do not freeze well.

You can also try making sun-dried tomato pesto and just store in a sterilized jar in the ref:

SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO

* Soak 1 cup of dried tomatoes in boiling water for a few minutes until soft. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

* Place in a food processor with 1 clove crushed garlic (more if you like garlic), and 1/4 cup each of walnuts and parmesan cheese (you can substitute with pine nuts). Process until finely chopped

* With the motor running, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil in a thin stream until well-combined. Season with salt and pepper. I use light olive oil as EVO is too flavorful.
