Who would have thought, with so few ingredients, that this sauce would have so much flavor!! This is very, very good. One change for this time only, was that I cut the oil back to 1/8 cup. I guess I did not drain the tomatoes, and just cooked it down more. I will be making this again. Made for Please Review My Recipe 2012 -
I used the canned tomatoes & the rest of the ingredients, seasoning it with a pinch of salt & 1/8 teaspoon of lemon pepper, & that worked out just fine for a very nice tasting sauce! I froze half of it & the rest topped a spaghetti dish that I fixed for a neighbor couple! Loved your sauce, & we look forward to having the rest of it for ourselves soon! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my group mates in the current Aus/NZ Recipe Swap]
