For a deeper flavor, consider adding a bay leaf during simmering and removing it before serving. A splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar at the end can brighten the sauce. If using fresh herbs, add them in the last 15 minutes of simmering to preserve their flavor. This sauce freezes beautifully. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.

A rich, vibrant sauce, perfect for coating spaghetti or layering in a lasagna, passed down through generations for its simple yet profound flavor. The whisper of sugar is the secret, a subtle counterpoint to the bright acidity of the tomatoes.
