i fixed this sauce for spaghetti last night. it was easy and quick, and it tasted quite good. i didn't need to add any water; the texture was just right. i think the rosemary flavor is a bit too pronounced, but that's probably me. (i'm not a big fan of it.) DH said it needed salt, but that may be because the diced tomatoes i used had no salt added. a nice spaghetti sauce overall! made for the bargain basement tag game.
