This sauce could not have been easier and the taste was absolutely amazing. It's definitely a nice change of pace from spaghetti and meatballs.

This is a very good sauce, and easy to prepare. I only used 2 tablespoons of sugar, and added a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, as we like our sauce a litle spicy.

You can''t go wrong with this recipe. Just a small amount of prep work and it cooks itself all day while you take care of the kids and clean the house. Very nice meal to sit down to after a long day.
