This is a wonderful tasting sauce. I am a 4th generation Italian-American and both my Paternal Great-Grandparents came from Calabria. Nono Frank passed down a recipe for spaghetti sauce that uses similar ingredients, but includes pork. This is a nice alternative for the Summer! I loved it! The only changes I made were to use 3 cans of crushed tomatos instead of processing the whole; and I used a jar of basil pesto I needed to use up in place of the fresh basil. I let mine cook about 1 1/2 hours ; Most excellent!

This sauce didn't work for me. It tasted bitter and bland, and I added a little agave syrup to sweeten, but didn't want an overly-sweet taste. Added a dash of balsamic vinegar, which added some depth. But I finally had to add about a pound of good Italian sausage to get a decent flavor. Thanks, Jan
