Can pasta sauce burn?

It is quite normal to burn spaghetti sauce while making it as the sauce needs constant stirring. When the sauce is left unattended at high temperature, it starts burning and sticks to the pan.

How do you keep tomato sauce from popping?

There is a pretty easy solution I found over years of making tomato sauces and curries: Use either peeled whole or chopped tomatoes and don't puree the sauce before, but after cooking. As long as the tomatoes are chunky the sauce will splatter much less. As soon as you puree it, it will veritably explode.

Should you cover tomato sauce?

Cooking a soup, stew, or sauce uncovered allows water to evaporate, so if your goal is to reduce a sauce or thicken a soup, skip the lid. The longer you cook your dish, the more water that will evaporate and the thicker the liquid becomes—that means the flavors become more concentrated, too.
