Is it possible that you could add some type of sauce like ragu sauce along with the tomato paste and if so, how much would you be able to put in.

Awesome! So good!
However, step 1 wasn’t too clear; perhaps a typo where it said: 1 tbs of olive oil, and 2 tsp on to boil. “2 tsp on?” I don’t get it. So, I just improvised here. –Thanks!

What did u improvise and used? I was so confused on that part as well so I didn’t use 2 tsp of anything.

Step number 1- “2tsp on to boil”….. Its supposed to be: …” 2 tsp of salt on to boil” …… Obviously a typo but It’s not confusing. Think people…….how do you make pasta?!?! No need to “improvise”
