Now skip it, why bother? What happens to sauce when you put in jar?

To me, fresher the better. Only when there are good tomatoes tho. Salt, olive oil, maybe fresh basil. Or sprinkled on top since so strong changes flavor of sauce. Done . If you watch cooking shows in Italy that's what they do. Think they make the pasta and cheese the star. Now I need a pasta machine
