Add a Few Tablespoons of This to Spaghetti Sauce for the “Best Flavor Ever” (It’s Truly a Game-Changer)
I love a good red sauce, and I’m not picky about it — it can be a simple marinara or a slow-cooked ragù. I’ve cooked tomato sauce many different ways, and often will forgo a recipe altogether in favor of using the spices, herbs, and aromatics I have on hand to build a good sauce. The one thing I always add at the end, though — no matter what else has gone into the pot — is a bit of butter.
