Slow cooked, intense tomato sauce is worth the effort and very versatile. I use it for lasagne, toss with pasta & cheese or for braising meat. Good as a vegetarian choice. Great to freeze in Ziploc Bags or Tupperware

    Wow! Really, really good and rich. I followed your recommendation and simmered for 4 hours - also added about a tbsp of brown sugar. Fantastic
