    Very easy and simple. I love that the ingredients are items I typically have in the cupboard. Other than wishing I would have used the small diced tomatoes instead of the chunky ones recipe was great. Per other reviews I added Italian Seasoning and Oregano for additional flavor - glad I did.

    Very good sauce. My husband loves making it and even more he loves eating it. We always double the recipe because we both like lots of sauce on our pasta.

    i make this all the time its so good and fresh tasting. i don't add quite as much garlic and always use san marzano tomatoes! a little of fresh basil also makes it wonderful!

    This was a quick and easy sauce. Also very yummy. I added a tablespoon of prepared pesto and it was delicious. I will be using this recipe again.

    I only used 2 garlic cloves and added Italian seasoning as others suggested. I also used a potato masher to break the tomatoes down into more of a saucy consistency. I added a little chicken broth and reduced the sauce to make it thicker and threw in a little sugar because I like a sweeter - Read more ...

    This is 5 stars for a SIMPLE quick tomato sauce. I needed a quick sauce for meatball sandwiches and this worked really well. Next time I'll try adding a little Italian seasoning. Try this recipe!

    I needed a quick pasta sauce and threw this together in a hurry! I added some basil and oregano and a few shakes of parmesian cheese very yummy!

    Not bad. I added about a tablespoon of italian seasonings and it was perfect.
