Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients you use, the tastier your sauce will be. This means using ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and good-quality olive oil.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Simmer the sauce for just long enough to allow the flavors to meld, about 15-20 minutes. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its vibrant color and flavor.
- Add a splash of acidity: A little bit of acidity can help to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes and add a bit of brightness to the sauce. You can add a splash of lemon juice, white wine, or even balsamic vinegar.
- Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Let the sauce rest: Once the sauce is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to continue to develop and deepen.

Making a fast pasta sauce is a great way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
