Basic Spicy Tomato Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: SUNNILOVE  PHOTO BY: Lil Mermaid 

"This sauce can be used for spaghetti, ravioli, chicken Parmesan, or anything Italian! It's very quick and very easy! Anything from seasoning to spices can be adjusted without compromising the basic flavor of the sauce. Sometimes we add bell peppers or tomatoes with green chiles. Add anything you like."
