Notes
If you prefer to make your own tomato sauce, be my guest, but there are tons of excellent jarred tomato sauces out there, that are made with tomatoes at the peak of ripeness, simmered for hours and seasoned just right... So unless you have an Italian grandmother who insists on you making it from scratch, save yourself some hassle... This recipe is meant to be quick! And delicious. Just make sure you pick an organic sauce with natural ingredients you can pronounce.
