Excellent recipe for a light sauce. I did not blend it, but left it chunky and we loved it. I had fresh basil and oregano and chopped that up with the garlic. I used brown sugar instead of white. I served it in recipe #27193 Helen's Zucchini Casserole, and it was perfect. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good the sauce was. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

I've used RecipeZaar for awhile and needless to say I yet rated any recipes (due to pure laziness) but this recipe was so good that it moved me to get off my lazy butt...create an account and write a review. This is so good that I'm never buying the jar ding anymore, from now on I'm making my own!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!
