- Chop the vegetables evenly: Chop the vegetables evenly so that they cook evenly. This will help to prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat: Cook the sauce over medium heat so that the flavors have time to develop. If you cook the sauce over high heat, it may burn.
- Season the sauce to taste: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes: Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
