Tips:

Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many tomatoes to the pan, they won't cook evenly.
Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help the flavors to develop and prevent the sauce from burning.
Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Or, use it as a dipping sauce for breadsticks or vegetables.
