Tips
- Fry the red onion until brown, not burnt, to give the dish a deeper flavor.
- Caramelizing sugar in oil for about 30 seconds tones down acidity and gives the sauce a rich, slow-cooked taste.
- Pasta with ridges will usually hold the sauce better.
- Do not add pasta into the pot of sauce; instead, pour the sauce into your bowl of pasta little by little until it's coated.
- Leftover sauce can be cooled and frozen in a ziploc bag for future use.
