This was very good for a quick cooking sauce, but it needed a little bit of sugar. I also added some crushed red pepper, and that really made it. Overall, it was a delicious meal. Thank you far sharing. Made for 2009 Fall PAC.

This was so good and so easy. I followed the recipe as written. My husband, who doesn't care for Italian food, had 2 servings!! Thanks for posting.
