Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful herbs, and a good quality olive oil will make all the difference in the taste of your sauce. Avoid using canned tomatoes or tomato paste, as they can give your sauce a metallic or acidic taste.

Roast your tomatoes. Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop. If you're roasting them in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the tomatoes for 30-40 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized. If you're roasting them on the stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the tomatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized.

Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme will give your sauce a bright, flavorful taste. Avoid using dried herbs, as they can be less flavorful and more bitter.

Don't overcook your sauce. Overcooked sauce can lose its flavor and become thick and gloppy. Simmer your sauce for 30-45 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly and the flavors have had a chance to meld.

Season your sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
