For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the crushed tomatoes. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to lightly blend the sauce after simmering. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a touch of heat to the sauce. Fresh herbs, such as oregano or thyme, can also be added for a more complex flavor profile.
