This was a really good piazza sauce. My husband's only complaint was that it was a little too watery. I am going to try again and maybe cook it just a little longer to see if it will thicken a bit more. The seasoning was good but I did add an extra Tbsp of Italian seasoning to flavor it up a little. It made a lot of sauce so I did freeze the leftovers. Will post how it tastes after freezing in a couple months. Made for PAC 2012.
