CHEF's NOTE: I often stretch the sauce by adding the whole can (around 12-14 ounces) of tomatoes instead of just the 1/3 cup called for in this recipe. Also, for fantastic flavor, look for fire-roasted organic tomatoes (we like Muir Glen brand). It just adds a little something special.Makes four servings.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BRRRANDI78.
