To use, simply heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until it is simmering. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You can add your favorite cooked pasta directly to the sauce and toss to coat, or serve the sauce over a portion of pasta.

It can also be incorporated into casseroles or used as a base for homemade pizza sauce.
