Tips and Tricks:
- A little trick I like to do it to add some of the beed broth to one empty can of tomatoes, swirl it around, pour to to the other empty can of tomatoes and then add it into the pot as well. This way you’re not losing a single drop of tomato-y goodness!
- Be sure to cover the pot when you cook it and stir it occasionally - that ensure you don’t lose too much moisture through steam and all the goodness stays locked it.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can however, leave the pot uncovered towards the second half of cooking. Be sure to stir the sauce more often, to prevent sticking.
- This sauce is delicious on butternut or zucchini noodles. If you’re not low-carb or keto, it is perfectly delicious on regular pasta as well.
