  3. Continue to let the sauce cook over medium-low heat uncovered for 10 minutes or until it thickens. The sauce can be run in the food processor for 2 to 3 seconds to achieve a more uniform consistency.

  4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and serve with sauce.
