Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, a good quality olive oil, and fresh herbs.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sauce, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sauce from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to burn.
Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
Season the sauce to taste: Taste the sauce as you cook it and season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Use the sauce in a variety of dishes: Pizza sauce can be used in a variety of dishes, not just pizza. Try it on pasta, chicken, or fish. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.
