we loved this, but i did make a few changes. we don't use bottled sauce so i subbed a 28 oz cann of whole tomatoes, which i chopped, and a 16 oz can of diced tomatoes. i let it all simmer with added oregano and a bay leaf for 1 hour so it could thicken. i also added 2 cloves of garlic. very good week day dinner
