"This is so easy to do and tastes great. I'll do it again. No need to buy spaghetti sauce jar. And that way I can omit the salt for DH. I used 1 tsp of red pepper flakes. Thanks Paula. Made for Gimme 5 tag game"

"Delicious! I made this tonight and froze three quartes of it right away. With the rest, I added ground beef to it and served it up over spaghetti with some garlic bread. It was the best sauce I have ever had. I'll never buy store bought again! Thanks for a keeper!"

"This was very easy to make, and tasted great with pasta! I left out the green pepper flakes, but it was still very tasty! I still have pints of this left in the freezer for future use. We all enjoyed this, PaulaG. Thanks!"
