There are many paths to an excellent sauce.
But sometimes, despite our best efforts, a batch of tomato sauce misses the mark.
It’s not awful, but it could be better, more tomato-y, and compelling.
Try one or more of these ways to boost and correct a sauce lacking some ingredient or instruction.
You’ll know when you’ve hit the target.
Sometimes all a sauce needs is a little more time to pull itself together.
Add Tomato Paste
We know meaty tomatoes with few watery seed pockets make the best sauce.
Add Salt
Always taste for salt at the end.
It’s prudent to not salt aggressively at the start before the sauce has time to reduce and concentrate.
A little pinch should do the trick.
