This was awesome. I love how simple it is especially after spending hours making other pasta sauces I've seen on this site. And you can really make it your own. I like to add a little bit of diced bacon and some ground beef to give it a meaty taste for my meat-loving boyfriend and we roasted some of our home grown red peppers and threw them in too. Fantastic and it takes no time to make! Cheaper than bottled sauce and by far fresher!

I decided to try this when I found out I didn't have any jarred sauce handy. I am glad I did. It truly was "quick." I added some extra seasonings to taste and was quite pleased.

It won't knock your socks off, but is a good basic sauce recipe. I did tweak it a bit, adding sugar, oregano, and cinnamon for more flavor.

I loved this, it was quick and easy, just what I needed. The only change I made was that I used sliced tomatoes instead of crushed and increased the cooking time for a thicker, chunkier sauce.

This was very quick prep and tasty good! I added an additional large can of concentrated crushed tomatoes and 2 teaspoons of ground italian seasonings. Instead of cooking for 20 minutes I cooked for 3 hours on low with a large bay leaf. Added into the sauce I used the Three Animal Meatball recipe from this site.

Good base recipe. I added my own spices (more garlic, italian seasoning, onion flakes) and some grated cheddar cheese ( didn't have parmesan on hand) and it was excellent. I also added ground beef.

My husband loved the taste, thought I had labored forever in the kitchen. I did add onions to the garlic when sauteeing & also added oregano & more basil. Very easy, I will never buy jars again, either.

I've made this a few times now and it's great! I had never made pasta sauce before but hated the idea that I had no control over the ingredients. This is perfect, can be changed to suit tastes and takes hardly no time at all. I use a lot of garlic, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and sometimes add olives too. I also add a can of diced tomatoes because I like a chunkier sauce. Very easy and good.

Wonderful and so simple. I even found canned crushed tomato with basil already included. It was delicious!

This is a good starting point. We added crushed pepper and some tomato suace to give it more substance.

i really enjoyed the ease & freshness of this sauce. no modifications were made aside from my stirring in a small sauteed onion. i served this with angel hair pasta and the delicious tomato chicken parmesan (also from this website). thanks for the recipe liarose!

This was a really good basic recipe. I added some meat for bolognese and i put in loads more basil than in the recipe and a touch of chilli. Next time I will add onion, mushroom and cinnamon. Double garlic too probably. Very good though!

I used what I had on hand and it was fantastic. 1 can 14.5oz diced tomatoes(w/juice) instead of 28 oz of crushed and 1/4 cup of oil was the only changes I made. I cooked the garlic in the oil and when I poured in the tomatoes I mashed them a little. This is really simple and fresh tasting. Might use fresh basil next time. Great in a pinch. My chicken parm came out fantastic!

As written, this is pretty bland and watery, imo. However, it is a nice basic recipe that can be improved upon and tweaked to personal preference. Personally, I sautee some chopped onion in olive oil, then add the herbs (regular Italian seasoning), garlic, pepper, a little chicken broth, and the tomatoes. Husband doesn't like chunks of tomato so I usually put the tom's in a bowl and whizz them up a bit with a hand-held blender. If I'm in the mood for a thicker, more robust sauce, I add some tomato paste and more chickie broth.

I made this for dinner tonight, adding in double garlic, and some oregano and it was delishious! I will definatly make this again maybe adding a splash of chili powder for zing and some chopped onions.

I never made pasta sauce before and this gave me some great direction to start a sauce and then add my own touch to it. My recipe changes every time. Thanks!!!
