This is a versatile sauce and have used it in many recipes. I've used this recipe for a Stromboli, dipping sauce, pizza sauce, and for pasta, Quite simple, easy and most of all, well balanced. My only recommendation is to double the recipe because it will be used again and again. Print it up and laminated it!

I just made this, and had to come back and comment...I needed to throw together a quick sauce tonight with what I had in the kitchen cabinet, and this is one of the few recipes I could find that used ONLY the big can of tomato puree. I mixed in the spices, etc. slowly, over a 10-15 minute span of time as the sauce simmered over a medium heat. I DID substitute cilantro for oregano and balsamic for red wine vinegar, as that was what was on hand, and it turned out absolutely AMAZING. If sweet and tangy were on a see-saw, they would be hovering in the air, perfectly balanced. God forbid I had made breadsticks: I would never be able to stop eating this sauce, and every everyone in my household would weigh 400 lbs...Kiersten NICE work!!!
