Notes
- Prepare spaghetti in salted water until it is al dente (Italian for "to the bite"). Do not rinse the pasta, this helps the sauce adhere to it.
- If using fresh herbs, stir them in just before serving for the best flavor. (Parsley and basil are favorites in this recipe).
- Freeze sauce on its own without pasta and add fresh pasta when serving.
