This recipe was extremely simple and very favorful. I used a red wine that we like to drink and it made all the diference.
One minor change I made was the plum tomatoes did not completely cook down so the sauce was chunky. Since we do not like chunky pizza sauce, I used the "boat" motor to puree the sauce to a consistency of our liking. A food processor or blender would work too!.
