Add 2 teaspoons of garlic powder.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground sage.

Stir all the ingredients together.

Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil.

Once boiling, put the lid on, turn the temperature down to low, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Taste the sauce; if it's too tart, add about 3/4 teaspoon of sugar to balance the flavor.

Simmer for a little longer if desired for more flavor, but at least 5 minutes is necessary.

Serve the sauce over spaghetti.
