Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
  • Roast your tomatoes. Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel.
  • Use a variety of peppers. Different peppers will give your sauce different levels of heat and flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. A little bit of cumin, chili powder, or oregano can go a long way.
  • Let your sauce simmer for a while. The longer you simmer it, the more time the flavors will have to meld together.
  • Taste your sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve your sauce over your favorite pasta or use it as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.
