Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before making the sauce will help to concentrate their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to find a flavor combination that you love. Some popular choices include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and chili peppers.
  • Simmer your sauce for a long time: The longer you simmer your sauce, the more time the flavors will have to develop. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for even longer if you have the time.
  • Taste your sauce as you go: Make sure to taste your sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You want your sauce to be flavorful, but not too salty or spicy.
