Notes
- The recipe yields approximately 3 cups. The nutrition values mentioned are for 1 cup.
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Using quality canned tomatoes to make the sauce is crucial.
- We like it chunky! Feel free to mash the sauce to adjust the consistency.
- Garden fresh tomatoes can be substituted for canned tomatoes. Blanch, peel the skin, and dice tomatoes first or roast it in the oven then crush it.
- Red pepper flakes are optional but I highly recommend it. It adds a kick to the sauce which makes it tastier.
- Always taste and add seasoning as you go to suit your taste preferences.
