Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many tomatoes at once, they won't cook evenly.
- Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help the flavors develop and prevent the sauce from burning.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.
