For a richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted tomatoes. Fresh herbs like basil or oregano can be added during the last 5 minutes of simmering for a brighter flavor. If you don't have chicken broth, vegetable broth or even water can be substituted. Adjust the amount of tomato paste to control the thickness of the sauce. This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
