Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce: This will intensify their flavor and give them a slightly smoky taste.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your sauce a more complex flavor. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The tomatoes should be soft, but they should still retain their shape. Overcooked tomatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: This sauce is great with spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta.
