  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables in your sauce add sweetness, texture, and nutrients. Don't be afraid to add a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a delicious flavor to your sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Simmer your sauce for a long time: Simmering your sauce for a long time allows the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer your sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Taste your sauce as you go: As you're making your sauce, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
