PAC Fall 2007 - Being Italian and growing up with mom's homemade, I'm very picky when it comes to tomato sauce. I have to say that this was fabulous! A very nice sauce with a little kick. I used a can of chopped tomatoes in lieu of sauce so that it would be chunky. I had never heard of sofrito sauce, so had to make my own using this Recipe #49997. I used about 3 shakes of Tabasco and simmered for 45 minutes and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing Chris!
