This is one great tasting sauce that I will make again. I cut the sugar down to 1 tsp and it was plenty sweet enough for us. I used penne pasta and made a casserole using this sauce with ground beef, and topped with cheese, and popped it in the oven for 30 mins or so. Yum!

Great sauce as is but I can imagine the possibilities with other add-ins. This is a keeper!

I used about 4 1/2 lbs of fresh tomatoes from my garden, taking skins off easily by dropping the tomatoes into boiling water for about 1 minute. The wine gave it a nice flavor and I only used 1 tsp of brown sugar as to not make it too sweet. I also cooked it for much longer, about 2 hrs, to thicken it up more. The end result was a good basic sauce to freeze for later use. Using fresh tomatoes always makes things taste so good! I look forward to serving this up with additions of meatballs and/or Italian sausages!
