try this little step next time. Before you put your sauce in that fry pan, put in some olive oil then shave a few cloves of peeled garlic really thin, the thinner the better. Some use a straight edge razor blade. Heat the oil and add the garlic and stir until it gets lightly brosn and then add your sauce. It will add wonderful flavor.
Thanks for the tip.
I will try that out too. -Tom
