Lena: You know what I discovered last week? I've been making tomato sauce completely wrong my entire life. I thought you just dump some canned tomatoes in a pot, add garlic, and call it a day.
Miles: Oh, I feel you on that one! But here's the thing that blew my mind when I started researching this - authentic Italian red sauce isn't actually about following some complicated recipe with twenty ingredients. It's about understanding a few key principles that Italian nonnas have been passing down for generations.
