Good recipe! I made a few changes to give it a little more flavor to my family's liking. Changes made include ... I followed the cooking instructions as given, added a few ingredients along the way. To the dry ingredients, in addition to oregano and salt, I also added 1/4 tsp tarragon, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of black pepper. I used organic crushed tomatoes w/ basil and instead of sugar I used 1/4 tsp of Sweetleaf (a natural zero calorie, zero carbs, zero glycemic response sweetener from stevia plant). After adding the crushed tomatoes and Sweetleaf to the sauce pan I added 1 TBSP of Marsala cooking wine. Bring to a rolling simmer, add 1/8 tsp baking soda, reduce heat to a very low simmer - cook for 30 min.
