We LOVED this sauce. I followed the recipe exactly and it couldn't have been more delicious. DH gave it a high five, too. It was really very simple, and took so little effort - no need to ever buy the bottled sauce again. Thanks for posting this recipe, Little Italy - it's going into my favorites cookbook.
