I wanted to like this sauce, especially because it got so many good ratings previously, but I didn't. The problem with using whole tomatoes is that there are bitter seeds inside, and it drove me nuts having them in the sauce. Also, I thought there was too much oregano and I didn't think the flavors of it (too strong. I ended up putting my sauce through the blender and added red pepper flakes. I won't be making this again. It may be healthy, but I just didn't like the taste. It was bland.

I was very suprised at the abundance of flavor this quick recipe had! I don't have to slave over my grandmothers family recipe every time I want a quick pasta dish with homemade sauce now!
I used San Marzano canned tomatoes imported from Italy and it really does make a difference.
Better than all the $8.99+ jarred gourmet Pasta Sauces at Whole Foods or gourmet shops I've tried and only takes a couple minutes
