It was awesome! Pretty easy... I need to get a total of 10 Roma tomatoes.
Nicole Hall • 2018-09-14
Loved it!! Add some cherry tomatoes 2-3 min before end. Maybe a little cream?

Can mozzarella pearls instead of whole.
Anna Darrow • 2018-09-07
So good! Today I used leftover penne instead of spaghetti and it was delicious.

we add 1/4 cup of red wine to this--good addition, doubled the salt, and doubled the mozzarella, roughly 4 roma tomatoes per lb, canned diced tomatoes work fine. family likes the sauce better without parmesan.
