- Comments: As the pasta business has grown, so has the number of sauces. Many prepared sauces are of good quality, and they're certainly fast and convenient. But I find it incredibly satisfying to make my own simple tomato sauce. It takes just 20 min - only slightly longer than heating a prepared sauce. I start with canned tomatoes and dress them up with whatever I have on hand. The results taste surprisingly fresh. Here's my favorite combination - delicious over anything from capellini to ravioli, and great in lasagna.
