 Jerry Foley (Pennsylvania) says:
Best sauce recipe I ever made, I like it on the sweet side so I add an extra half cup sugar.

I love this recipe! My personal changes are: I don't add the 2 cups of water in the beginning. I cook the tomatoes on low and stir with a wooden spoon. I increased the olive oil to 1/2 cup (advice from an Italian friend). In the end I add about 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese and about 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Yum!

After sifting through tons of Pasta Sauce recipes, this one is the one I settled on, just made a few changes, I added diced carrots and extra Basil and doubled the garlic along with a little Red Pepper flakes (about a heaping tablespoon) and reduced the sugar by half and if I make again I will maybe use a little less sugar than that the next time. We really do like it made this way. Highly recommend if you like spicy not boring sauce.
