Chefs Note: This sauce is excellent for pasta! It is often flavored with porcini mushrooms, a little wine and other seasonings. A wise Chef once said: Keep in mind that tomatoes vary in sweetness and juice depending on the variety and the climate, therefore it os often neccesary to add water and/or sugar to your tomato sauce. Remember this, and if someone tells you otherwise, thats OK, as everyone is wrong sooner or later!
