Notes
How do I thicken or thin out the sauce?
Depending on your preference of thickness-you can choose to make the sauce thinner or thicker by adding water or cornstarch.
To thicken:
Use Cornstarch. Cornstarch is pretty neutral in flavor and can be easily added to the sauce. Whisk 1/2 tsp cornstarch with a little water. Pour into the simmer sauce and stir until well combined. You’ll often see thickening results with a small amount of cornstarch.
Use Tomato Paste: add 1-2 Tbsp of tomato paste to thicken the sauce.
To thin out: add 1/4-1 cup tomato sauce while sauce is simmering.
- Add 2 tsp of zero point white granulated sugar substitute, for added sweetness.
