Instructions

Notes
- For a smoother sauce, swap out the diced tomatoes for crushed tomatoes or even canned tomato soup.
- For extra sauce, an additional can of tomatoes can be added.
- Optional: To thicken the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Bring the sauce to a simmer on the stove and add a little at a time to thicken.
