The recipe turned out ok. I added a little tomato paste otherwise it would've been to watery for pasta.

My only regret in making this recipe is that homegrown tomatoes are not out yet. But it was so good with just the store bought Romas that I can just imagine how great it will be this summer when I make it again and I surely will. Thanks so much for sharing this super recipe. We really enjoyed it.

Outstanding tomato sauce My family, friends and neighbors always keep me supplied with homegrown vegetables and I can’t use all the tomatoes so I decided to try this recipe for tomato sauce and freeze what I couldn’t use. It’s just wonderful and freezes perfectly in a Zipper Top freezer bag. I double bag to make sure the sauce is fresh for a long time. Thanks for this excellent recipe.
