Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and stir continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Leave the root end of the onion intact while slicing to keep it from falling apart as you chop.
Sautéing the tomato paste for one minute before adding the liquids helps caramelize it and deepens the flavor.
A tiny bit of sugar is essential in tomato-based sauces to cut down on the natural acidity of the canned tomatoes.
For meal prep, store the sauce and cooked noodles separately. Only toss them together if you plan to eat all of it immediately.
