This was so good. It was such a hit I had to twice stop my teen boy from making more pasta on his own so he could eat more sauce. He cant get enough! Thank you.

This recipe is so spectacular!!! I made this for a friends Christmas party, and there was about 1/2 cup left, and they would not let me leave the house with the leftovers!!! My husband loves this sauce. Thank you, you were the hit of the party. Evelyn Silver
