Tips

  • To make the tomato paste more flavorful, sauté it until the oil splits or rises.
  • For diced cheese, it's really good when you can dice them so they'll be whole when you eat them.
  • Don't overdo the ketchup, especially if using Filipino style spaghetti sauce, as it will make the whole sauce taste like ketchup.
  • A small pouch of ketchup is sufficient.
  • Adding cheese powder is a technique that enhances the flavor.
  • To make the shelf life of the sauce longer, add vinegar towards the end of cooking.
