For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to purée the sauce after simmering. To deepen the flavor, roast the tomatoes in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 30 minutes before dicing and adding them to the sauce. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
