  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a ton of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be simmered for only 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the flavors have melded.
  • Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta. Pasta Mexicali is traditionally served with spaghetti, but it can also be served with other types of pasta, such as penne, macaroni, or ziti.

Pasta Mexicali is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs give the sauce a ton of flavor, and the pasta is cooked al dente, making it the perfect vessel for the sauce.
