Question

What do I do if I put too much hot sauce in my spaghetti sauce?

Community Answer

If you added too much hot sauce to your spaghetti sauce, you can add salt. It takes away from the burn.

Question

Can I use mashed potato flakes?

Community Answer

You could try but I don't think it would help very much as they have a low starch content. It might just result in a bad texture for your sauce.

Question

Do I have to use both puree and paste with my garden tomatoes to make sauce?

Community Answer

The best results will be if you add a little of everything. I add paste, puree, and chunks, and I throw some spinach in there too to add a nice green garden flavor.
