oh
i'm sorry
I didn't realize i'd need to cover the absolute basics of sauces in a sauce thread, I really just wanted to know why people waste their time with canning but keep forgetting people on /ck/ don't cook
you can put spices in it whiteboys dont be afraid

tomato in a pan is an example of a base known as a 'mother sauce'
you can use a mother sauce as is, or with modifications to make derivatives called 'daughter sauces' (cute name huh?)
there are a number of mother sauces but we're going to concentrate on 'tomato'
now it seems to be you've mistaken 'marinara' and 'tomato'
now despite what the italians seem to believe, they don't actually need to spend whole afternoons making their variant of provencale sauce
it turns out, putting in a handful of herbs and spices takes even less time than cutting that one onion they insist they can taste in that batch of 30 tomatoes

does this help explain things a bit or have I lost you again?
