    Basic and better than canned.

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    To the person who commented on it being too sour, it probably has to do with varying acidity levels in tomatoes and you... should try chopping up some carrots and adding them in with the onions... or adding a little sugar at the end when you taste it and adjust to your liking.Read more

    Terrific versatile sauce

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I was making Eggplant Parmigiana from Sara Moulton's show and it calls for 3C marinara sauce, so instead of getting it from a... jar, I made this one, only I made 1/2 the recipe. It reduced and thickened nicely, it was seasoned well, and worked well with the eggplant recipe. I used tomato sauce, since the grocery store did not have "puree" in the size can I needed. I also diced the onion instead of slicing it. Had a feeling I wouldn't regret doing that.Read more

    Nice and Chunky

    This recipe worked perfectly for my party, it's not watery like some marinara recipes. It sticks to the noodles, and the... diced tomatoes added the perfect texture.Read more
