Pasta sauce
Description
Perfectly complements meat, poultry, and side dishes. Today, I used tomato sauce as a base, adding onion, carrot, garlic, and pepper—the key ingredient that gives the sauce its distinctive flavor. If you prefer spicy versions, you can add a bit of chili and a pinch of ground ginger; it will also taste delicious. If you like sweeter sauces, add a little sugar. My version turns out neutral—neither spicy nor sweet, just well-balanced. The sauce is ready. Store it in the refrigerator and serve with your dishes.
