Notes

  • If you have time and want to make everything in the sauce from scratch, you can use my roasted tomatoes sauce instead of spaghetti sauce in a jar.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional, but add a delicious kick to homemade spaghetti sauce. I highly recommend giving them a try!
  • If you're using gluten-free noodles, I recommend cooking them separately and mixing them in at the end so they cook properly.
  • You can use any variety of pasta you like, though be sure to choose one with a similar cook time to spaghetti pasta, and stir no matter what type you use.
