- Tomato Paste: This will add a nice thickness to the sauce.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: A small amount of oil gives a light richness to the sauce without watering it down.
- Seasoning: Using a combination of garlic and oregano gives a nice mild flavoring. Fresh or dried herbs can be used. You could also add some basil and/or onion powder if you prefer.
