Hello. I can't really taste or smell anything since birth.

Cooking for myself is fine but I only know texture is is good. It might taste unedible for all I know.

I will have to cook for other people at some point in future afterall. Any of you found a trick to use during covid or something?

Please tell me even if it's not that effective. I have no idea how to fix this. Thank you very much.

Just follow the recipe and you should be fine. Like the other person in the comment said, undersalt the food and add the salt shaker on the table should they need it. I for one, have never put salt in my spaghetti since I find it too salty.

For spaghetti you salt the water and add the pasta water to the sauce and reduce it as needed.

Making fresh spaghetti sauce is so simple I don’t bother buying sauce anymore. For the price it’s just not worth it and they all taste the same and are too sweet.
