    Made this last night for dinner for my roommate, her sis, her friend & me. Very herby was one comment. I myself would of preferred more "zest" to it. A bit bland but good for a basic sauce though after simmering for an hour, it still kind of tasted like it did when I tried it before simmering. Would make again but add some italian sausage. Thanks!

    ciò è meravigliosamente saporita! grazie! più, per favore! OK, that ends the altavista translation, but seriously, great sauce, though i'm pretty sure i missed out some of the herbs. Thanks.

    Great recipe for a simple quick sauce with good traditional flavor. I used what I had in freezer, sweet italian sausage, ground veal and ground beef, other than that no changes. Good base as well for other recipes
