To use, simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. You can add a splash of water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency. Pour the heated sauce over your favorite cooked pasta, ensuring each strand is coated. It can also be incorporated into casseroles, layered in lasagna, or used to simmer meatballs. For a different application, consider spooning it over grilled or baked chicken breasts, fish fillets, or even roasted vegetables.
