Notes
- To get a richer flavor, let the sauce simmer for longer.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of minced fresh parsley or basil at the end of cooking.
- To make this sauce vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for the olive oil.
- To kick up the flavor of this sauce, add a tablespoon of capers or olives at the end of cooking.
- For a thicker sauce, add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a tablespoon of water.
- If you’re short on time, you can also use store-bought tomato sauce to save time. Simply add your favorite herbs and seasonings to customize them to your taste.
