I couldn't figure out how to give this recipe 4.5 stars....but that's where I would rate it. Definitely a great recipe! I put my own twist on the it what was available from my fridge and pantry.

I loved the flavor of the sun dried tomatoes, but my family prefers a slightly sweet sauce. This sauce was pretty good though. I also thought that it was a little pricey to make. Thankfully I had my own herb garden that saved a few dollars for the fresh herbs.

This was pretty good. I don't know if I'll make it again but I said yes because I'm on the fence. I followed the recipe as closely as possible though I did have to make a few changes -- left out celery & ground beef, and had to use sundried tomatoes in oil. Anyway, it was good and nice and light, but we didn't rave about it.

I loved this sauce. Easy to make...I cooked the meat the night before and put everything in my crockpot in the morning before work. I used three different types of canned tomatoes: fire roasted, italian seasoned and plain. When I got home all I had to do was cook pasta.
