Well, there’s a lot to add to spice up the pasta sauce. You can add red pepper flakes, fresh garlic, as well as dried or fresh herbs.
To add flavor to pasta, add a generous amount of salt in the water. It seasons the pasta inside and it also absorbs the liquid and swells.
The secret ingredient is baking soda, but remember: NEVER taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait for a while and I’m telling you, adding this will never disappoint your taste.
