TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 45 min.
YIELD: 5 servings.
This basic tomato sauce satisfies my pasta-loving husband much more than any store-bought kind. For a change of pace, I add ground beef or Italian sausage. It's also good with black olives, mushrooms and green peppers. —Jennifer Stephens, Pearland, Texas
