If you can, make up extra quantities. It freezes really well and can be used in so many different ways, including as the base for a hearty stew; as a pasta sauce (makes a lovely full-bodied lasagna); and it can even be turned into a tomato and roasted red pepper soup by adding a little vegetable stock. Emily - Yes, this sauce is a real timesaver for those weekdays when you're rushed off your feet, or when you just can't be bothered spending more than a few brief minutes in the kitchen. I'll see if I can track down a copy of "Big Night." My favorite Italian opera singer at the moment is the late great Mario Lanza. We recently bought a CD of his called "Song of Songs," and that man really did have golden tonsils! Sue – I hope you enjoy the sauce as much as we did! If you can, make up extra quantities.

The sauce looks great and I can appreciate the timesaving for the week ahead! And I had to smile at your playing opera while cooking...another great thing to play to get in the Italian mood is the soundtrack from "Big Night." ;) What a great post to read right before the weekend.
