Pasta sauce should be a little thick so that the pasta sauce does not run off the pasta when it's poured on.

The Pasta sauce should be about the consistency of oatmeal as in thickness so the Pasta sauce sticks to the pasta.

If your pasta sauce is running off the pasta then it's probably too thin and you can thicken up pasta sauce by adding some tomato paste to the pasta sauce.

If you really want to see the thickness of pasta sauce you should buy a jar of spaghetti sauce or pasta sauce and compare it to the thickness of your homemade pasta sauce.

That is what I did when I first started making spaghetti sauce and pasta sauce.

I used to make it too thin until I compared it to the store bought spaghetti sauce and pasta sauce.

Also the pasta sauce should stick to the pasta and absorb into it some.
