Spaghetti sauce consistency / coating noodles
I made my home made spaghetti sauce this weekend, which I've been making
for several years. As always, the flavor turned out great, so I don't want
to change my recipe too much. However, I do have one concern.
Whenever I use store bought sauce, it always coast the noodles completely,
or near completely, as well as anything I may add to the dish, meatballs
in this case. The noodles end up with a thick red coating of sauce on
them.
When I use my own sauce, it just runs off the noodles. It leaves enough on
them to have a good flavor, but does not have the same visual appeal to me
that I get with store bought sauce.
I used to use cans of whole tomatoes, but lately, I've been starting with
fresh tomatoes.
Is the quality of sticking to the noodles something artificial and a
result of the mass production / preservatives? Or is it something to be
desired in a sauce?
Should I be doing something different? Would more tomato paste or less
water help? Or is there something else I should be adding?
