Elf vs. Pasta Sauce: Pasta Sauce Wins Again

[elfs]

So, I tried to move my recipe in one direction or another, this time by using organic plum tomatoes, six cloves of garlic, three ounces of pancetta^[?], and twice the recommended dose of basil.

It tasted more or less the same. The salty, savory pancetta, the garlic, and the basil all just disappeared into the sauce.

I really like this recipe because it's easy and completely home-made, but what does it take to make it taste like, well, like anything else?

Quite simply, baslamic vinagrette. It has an alchemy with the tomatoes and the basil that brings out the best in both.
