This is a simple, handy recipe. I cut the sugar in half and added fresh garlic and onion, sliced black olives, and a splash of red wine. Nice over some angel hair pasta. Thanks Junebug.

Very good! I used less sugar and it was perfect. Thank you!

I love sauce that stews for several hours, but if you don't have the time for that, this is a wonderful alternative. I used 1 chopped onion instead of a few tablespoons, added in a chopped green bell pepper, 1-14.5 oz can of chopped tomatoes, and cut the sugar down to 1 tablespoon.
