This is an Italian mother's recipe that has been around forever. It is so simple and just delicious. I miss Pierre Franey. I would always look for his recipes in the NYT. I still use his cookbook.
This is my family’s favorite pasta sauce. Simple, delicious and a crowd pleaser! One that my vegan granddaughter can easily enjoy with everyone else, she just doesn’t add the cheese.
