For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to lightly puree after simmering. To add depth, brown 1/2 pound of Italian sausage or ground beef in the skillet before adding the other ingredients. Remove the browned meat and set aside, then add it back to the sauce during the simmering process. A bay leaf added during simmering will impart a subtle, savory note. Remember to remove it before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A pinch of salt and black pepper can enhance the flavors. Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
