"Great change from regular pasta sauce. Fast to assemble--40 minutes to the plate. Kick it up by adding extra red pepper flakes if you like--I do!"

Really outstanding. We got rained/flooded in today and I had the ingredients on hand. Great comfort food. Wouldn't change a thing.

Oh boy is this great! I recommend you all to try this pasta sauce, I used chilli flakes (cant get red pepper flakes here) added a few mushrooms and used Italian herbs as I didnt have any fresh basil, only used 2 onions, and only 2 tins of 16 oz tomatoes. This is a new favourite, thanks for the flavour sensation!!

Tomatoes and bacon, two of the best tastes put together! My teen really liked this! I used peeled tomatoes put through a processor. Thanks
