Make sure your pasta sauce is thick and the pasta is well drained. A good restaurant trick is to put several ladles of sauce into a large skillet and add just enough pasta for two people at a time. Heat sauce and pasta together shaking pan well to thoroughly coat the pasta.
yes it does but it may include lots of sugar and salt too
a chianti (Italian) red is very nice and not too expensive.
It depends on the kind of pasta and the kind of sauce that you are talking about. White pasta will usually has a lot of calories, whole wheat pasta is a lot more healthier though. Alfredo sauces usually have a lot of calories, so marinara would be healthier, of course there's always the all original tomato sauce you can try too.
Yes, pasta can be baked in a sauce that is not specifically for baking pasta, in fact it can be baked in any creamy or tomato based sauce, it just depends on what flavour and texture you want. Be careful that a dryer sauce does not burn or dry out too quickly.
I have been researching this for the past few weeks and I have discovered the answer. Upon my experimentation I have realized that Pizza and Pasta sauces are relatively the same except for two very distinct yet very small differences. Pasta Sauces are thin and the major flavor profile is going to be Basil. Pizza Sauces are thick and the major flavor profile is going to be Oregano. There can be exactly the same amount of other things like onion and garlic, but there is a big difference in flavor depending on whether you use more basil or oregano in the sauce. The pizza sauce has to be much thicker since there is going to be bread baking underneath it. If your Pizza sauce too runny add a can or two of tomato paste, and some more oregano.
Saving some starchy pasta water can help your pasta sauce "come together" closer to the end of the simmering/ cooking process. It can also help loosen it up if it's too thick and globby.
Baking Soda is used to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes in spaghetti sauce. If there was too much baking soda added, you might be able to add a little vinegar or even better a red wine vinegar to raise the acidity of the sauce or add more tomato sauce.
Got a little too much in my sauce, how can I take a little bite out of it

It will taste too much like Worcestershire sauce. Gross.
For red spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce is often a primary ingredient. Tomato paste is added to thicken the sauce, and spices such as oregano, garlic, basil and onion give it the distinctive "Italian" flavor.Tomato sauce is frequently served with pasta, but many other types of sauce are also used for pasta. A simple dressing for pasta is olive oil, chopped fresh herbs and grated cheese, or even more simply, butter and black pepper. Other pasta sauces can be made with meat, vegetables, and so on.Tomato sauce for pasta (in Italian, sugo or salsa di pomodori) is not to be confused with the bottled tomato sauce, sometimes called ketchup, used as a general-purpose flavouring for various foods. A basic Italian tomato pasta sauce is made by cooking onion and garlic in olive oil, adding canned or fresh tomatoes or bottled tomato passata, and simmering until sufficiently thick to coat pasta. Dried herbs can be added with the garlic, as can chilli, and wine may be added with the tomatoes. The sauce can be finished with a knob of unsalted butter, giving a smooth finish. Fresh chopped herbs are usually added just before serving. It is usually advisable to use imported Italian canned or bottled tomatoes, as local supermarket produce frequently lacks the richness required for a good sauce.
