Notes
- Flavor: if you want to add yet another dimension of flavor to this sauce, you can start off by sautéing several cloves of minced garlic in olive oil and then adding the rest of the ingredients. I was in too much of a hurry so I simplified and still loved the result.
- Olives: also, from what I hear, chopped black olives make a wonderful addition to the sauce.
