    consistency My sauce is more like a dense puree than a sauce

    I agree....to a point.... Watery tomato recipe may need more tomato. My Tropical Ghost Sauce has mandarin oranges, pineapple juice, and a bunch of other ingredients, none of which are thickeners. Hence the use of xanthan for consistency. Every sauce has its challenges and different solutions.

    consistency My sauce is more like a dense puree than a sauce

    There are other produce ingredients that will add flavor to a sauce and also act as an emulsifier or thickener. Apple has pectin...as what is used to make jams/jellies. Pumpkin, okra and squash are thickeners. Some will affect flavor, some not so much. More chiles can thicken the sauce...

    consistency My sauce is more like a dense puree than a sauce

    Welcome to THP. It is as simple as more water, and maybe a splash more vinegar or fruit juice. Something maybe contributing is if you measure the dry peppers as 5 chiles instead of xx grams of dried chiles. Some peppers are thicker skinned. Measuring by weight keeps the recipe consistent...

    cooking Spaghetti Sauce

    Fennel is not a common ingredient in standard spaghetti or marinara sauce. Like capers are in puttanesca. Spaghetti, marinara, pizza sauce are all similar basic ingredients. But subtle small differences separate each one.

    cooking Spaghetti Sauce

    Matty Matheson on various Vice Channel shows always said to add sugar to counteract the "tinned" flavor. Most cans now-a-days are lined, not tomato on metal. The recipe i posted was circa 1992. So maybe the sugar was for tinned tomatoes.
