"Fast sauce to make, can make it as spicy as you can handle or mild. Add loaf of bread, salad and a glass of wine, makes a truly italian meal. My husband requests this recipe often!"

Yum! No salt required - the bacon took care of that. I added a jar of spaghetti sauce too to make it less thick, so now it feeds a small army. I'm sure the leftover sauce will be just as good. Going in the tried and true file.
