Baking soda neutralizes the acid in spaghetti sauce, making it less tart. However, many chefs recommend using sugar instead for a more complex, well-balanced flavor.

Using tomato paste instead of diced or whole tomatoes will result in a smoother sauce. The ingredients will also soften more if you simmer the sauce for a long time.

Question

What happens if you eat the sauce by itself?

Community Answer

Eating spaghetti sauce by itself is safe and can be tasty. It's often rich in flavor and can be enjoyed as a dip for bread or as a topping for other dishes like baked potatoes or vegetables. However, it might be quite intense or salty without the pasta to balance it out.
