How To Make Spaghetti Sauce From Tomato Paste

For a meaty sauce, add 1 pound of lean ground beef, turkey or sausage. If you go this route, cook the meat in a skillet first and drain excess grease. Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet and cook as directed.
Spruce up the sauce by using any or all of the following: red pepper flakes, fresh tomatoes or diced canned tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, olive oil, fresh basil or dried basil, grated Parmesan, a few minced garlic cloves or fresh chopped onions.
Add sugar (or other sweetener) 1 teaspoon at a time for a sweeter sauce.
Store room temperature leftovers in an airtight container or glass jar in the fridge. Use within 4-5 days.
Adding homemade marinara sauce boosts the flavor hugely!
Add a dash or two of red wine for a more complex end result.
