Yes, it is delicioso! I cut recipe in half, but otherwise made as written. Didn't add any sugar, as we don't care for sweet tomato sauces, so really liked the addition of the vinegar in this. It makes a thick sauce that really stayed on the ravioli. Also served with fried Italian turkey sausages. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game. -
I had to add some sugar to this (didn't keep tabs on the amount). I like this because it is super simple. Most pasta sauces seem over complicated for something simple. I really like this! Thanks! Made for PAC -09
