    This was simply delicious. I added some rosemary and served it over angel hair pasta topped with grilled chicken strips. Will certainly make again and again.

    I just made this sauce and I agree with everyone else... so easy to make and very tasty. I added lean ground turkey and it came out really, really good. I just seasoned the turkey with salt, pepper and dry basil. I'm never, ever going to buy a jar of sauce again.

    I didn't think that I was going to like this because the ingredients seemed too simple. However, I love this sauce!!! I made it last night, cooked it for about 30-45 minutes and then put it in the fridge & didn't have it until tonight & it was delicious!!! I added ground Italian sausage to it & the basil really complement the sausage. And it was SO simple to make. I will be making this for my pasta sause from now on - no more jarred stuff!
