To use this pasta sauce, simply open the container and pour it into a saucepan. Heat it gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through. Avoid boiling the sauce, as this can alter its texture and flavor. You can add your favorite cooked pasta directly to the sauce to coat it, or serve the sauce over a separate portion of pasta. For added flavor, consider incorporating sautéed onions, garlic, or cooked meats into the sauce while it heats.
