To use, simply heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also add it directly to cooked pasta for an instant meal. For a richer flavor, consider simmering it with additional ingredients like sautéed onions, garlic, or cooked meats. It can also be used as a base for more complex sauces by adding cream, cheese, or other vegetables.
