10 Minute Tomato Sauce

Sure, Sure… This might not be a true Italian sauce. But it does make a decent substitute when you don’t have all day to simmer your ‘real’ sauce. We have made it more than a few times simple because it’s so easy. You can basically make your noodles and sauce at the same time and have a fairly quickly made dinner after coming home after work.
