    So easy and much more healthy than canned sauce. I used whole san marzano tomatoes and crushed them with a spoon before cooking them.

    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!

    Let me start off by saying I DON"T COOK!!!...but i saw this recipe and decided it was easy enough to try and make for my father while my mother was out of town(who is the cook...my father is Puertorican and old fashioned about what he eats...he thought it was amazing and ate about 3 bowls!!!...I doubled the entire recipe, used an extra can of DICED tomatoes, not crushed..and i cheated and added a bag of the ready-made meatballs and added it to the sauce in the beginning so it was done cooking by the time i served it. Next time i will add ANOTHER extra can of DICED tomatoes...its just my preference i like a chunkier sauce...very fresh and full of flavor!!! making again!

    This recipe is so simple, and healthy I couldn't wait to try it. My husband hates most spaghetti sauces, and he ate two plates of this!

    This sauce was a big hit and it was so simple! A suggestion: if you are going to make this for more people use half crushed and half diced tomatoes and the sauce will be nice and chunky!
