From "Pacific Fresh" cookbook, an easy sauce for busy days. I've used it when making manicotti and of course, over plain pasta.

Like a previous reviewer said, this sauce is great for customizing to lower sodium diets. We are feeding ourselves as well as a 7 month old so we try to keep things low sodium for her and add salt to our own servings if desired. Made this with no salt added diced tomatoes and sauce and it came out great. I didn't have any fresh garlic so I added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of garlic powder with the other spices. We also wilted a bunch of fresh spinach into the sauce for added veggies. Flavor was great both before and after the addition of the greens. Thanks for sharing!

This was all right but I felt it needed a bit more spice or flavor.

Quick 'n easy is right! I prefer low sodium sauces, so the ease of being able to make a quick one that I can control the salt in is ideal! I used no salt added petite diced tomatoes and omitted the salt. Loved the flavor produced by the simple combo. Thanks for sharing!

This is a very nice pasta sauce with a lovely, light flavor. I had all of the ingredients on hand so it was simple and quick to put this togther. Rather than pasta I used it in Recipe#197203. Perfect combination! I'll will definitely make this again. Thanks rochsann!
