It is better to simmer with the lid off. The purpose of simmering the sauce is to reduce it, or to boil some of the water out of it so that the flavors in the remaining sauce are more concentrated. If you leave the lid on, then droplets of water will form on the underside of the lid and will fall back into your sauce, defeating the purpose of simmering for a long time.

Do you simmer spaghetti sauce with lid on or off?

This may depend on the recipe. Simmering with a lid on uses less heat than with the lid off. Leaving the lid on means that evaporation will be lower - but sometimes the purpose of simmering is to reduce the amount of fluid.... so this may be necessary.

I suppose you could just put the meatballs on top of the spaghetti, and then douse it in mozzarella cheese. That simpleLots of possibilities!After you cook the pasta:Drizzle with olive oil and garlic for a simple toss.Make pesto by whizzing up basil garlic and olive oil, then dress the pasta.Keep it hot in the pan after draining and mix with a beaten egg and bits of ham or bacon and cheese to make spaghetti ala Carbonara.In a pan with a little olive oil, add a little oregano, pepper, salt, garlic, cream (or milk, you just have to simmer the milk before you use it, taking out some of the water), and simmer for 15 minutes. Add your pasta and some Parmesan cheese (or whatever cheese you have), simmer about five more minutes and serve hot.Mix with a package of frozen vegetables and Italian dressing for a cold saladMix pasta and a couple of eggs, season with salt and pepper, put it in a frying pan and cook it into a pasta omelet. You can add whatever sounds good, from salsa to crumbled bacon, season however inspires you!
