To heat, simply pour the desired amount of sauce into a saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your preferred temperature. Avoid boiling the sauce, as this can alter its texture and flavor. You can also add it directly to cooked pasta and stir to coat. For a richer flavor, consider simmering it with additional ingredients like sautéed onions or garlic. It can also be used as a component in casseroles or layered dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
