Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is the key to a great-tasting sauce. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market. If you're using canned tomatoes, choose a brand that uses high-quality tomatoes and doesn't add any unnecessary ingredients.
- Don't overcook the sauce. A good spaghetti sauce should be simmered for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than an hour. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor and turn it into a mushy mess.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh basil, oregano, and thyme are all great additions to a spaghetti sauce. Add them towards the end of the cooking time so that they don't lose their flavor.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little spice.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti is the classic choice, but you can also use penne, rigatoni, or any other type of pasta that you like.
