I quadrupled the recipe for a crowd. I also used Kirkland organic canned diced tomoatoes which made for a very quick preparation. Guests commented on how rich the sauce was. This recipe is a keeper!

I used one can of fire roasted diced tomatoes - no summer/ fresh tomatoes available and it was delicious!!

What heat are we supposed to use on the stove?
