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.
