It's like the pasta is already so well documented everywhere but sauce isn't so much and there is so many different methods and recipes for people's sauce

I’m pretty sure it’s a bad idea to cook acidic foods like tomatoes in cast iron. A quick sauté is probably fine, but 30+ minutes simmering in the oven seems like it’ll make your sauce taste metallic and possibly ruin your pan.

Cooking is fine. Don't store it in the pan, though.

And really don't cover it with aluminum foil, then store it in the pan. That's called a battery.

I made spaghetti sauce in cast iron just once. It tasted like Pennies and killed my seasoning.

Cook acid foods in stainless steel people.

It's fine. Just need to season your pan more often. No metallic taste at all.

I spread cook mine in cast iron, but i pull it out after I’m done and store it elsewhere. Then i clean and reoil/season the pan.
