Simple pasta sauce
Description
Minimal ingredients — excellent result. Tomato sauce is the perfect pairing for boiled pasta of any kind: spaghetti, tagliatelle, farfalle, noodles, etc. The key is to adjust the sauce flavor to your personal preferences: salty, sweet, spicy, by adding various spices and seasonings. The sauce already contains oil, so the pasta will acquire a delicate, velvety taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
