Notes

  1. You can use any kind of tomato, but Roma's are the most classic for pasta sauce recipe and tend to be the most accessible
  2. You can pulse the tomatoes before you book them to get a smooth, more traditional tomato sauce texture instead of a rougher, more rustic one.
  3. I prefer sliced garlic, but you can mince your garlic if you like a more even flavor.
  4. Cooking for less time will have a more watery consistency with more volume and acidity, cooking for more time will have a thicker consistency with less volume and more sweetness.
