The herbs in this recipe really make it special. I used fresh basil, oregano, and thyme, but you could use any combination you like.

I love how this recipe uses sun-dried tomatoes. They add a nice sweetness and depth of flavor to the sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes from the garden. I always have a few of these on hand in the summer.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to give it a personal touch. I usually add some chopped mushrooms and zucchini to the sauce, and sometimes I'll stir in a bit of pesto at the end.

I'm not usually a fan of tomato sauce, but this recipe changed my mind! The addition of sun-dried tomatoes and herbs really makes it something special.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but that's easily fixed with a little bit of sugar or honey. Other than that, this recipe is a winner!
