This is my first review of a recipe and I have been trying the Food Network's recipes for many years now. It is wonderful! So much better than jar spaghetti sauce.

I was also surprised at how many cans of paste until I read the whole recipe, and thinned it out with chicken stock instead of base + water. And let me tell you, I didn't think this sauce was going to be as good as it was. It took me back to my NYC days, slurping spaghetti in Little Italy. Simple but delish!

This sauce was horrible. 2 cans of tomato paste? I had to use about 4 cups of water just to thin it out.......
