Notes
The recipe makes about 2 to 2 & 1/2 cups of sauce
If you're serving it over pasta, how much pasta to use will depend on your taste and how much sauce to pasta you like. I typically use about 1/2 of a 16 ounce box of pasta.
Want it super smooth. Simply pop it in the blender, or use and immersion blender on it. I figure it doesn’t have to be super smooth if you’re serving it on pasta or pizza. But you may want it smooth if you’re serving it over steak.
To add a little kick to the sauce, either add ½ teaspoon hot sauce, like Frank’s Red Hot, or ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper. You could add in some roasted garlic as well.
Garnish with a squeeze of lemon wedge if you’d like.
