    • When tasting the sauce for seasoning, allow it to cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth.
  5. Cooking Odors:
    • Ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen, especially if using strong-smelling ingredients like garlic, to prevent odors from lingering.
  6. Ingredient Freshness:
    • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially for canned tomatoes, to ensure the best flavor.
  7. Stirring Carefully:
    • Stir the sauce gently to avoid splashing hot liquid. Use a long-handled spoon for safety.
