"I have been making this sauce since I have been on my own, tweaking it as the years went by, to suit everyone’s taste. It is the easiest way to make pasta sauce and with no simmering mess on the stove-top. I am often asked for this recipe, but had never taken the time to write it down. So one day I got my daughter to jot down all the ingredients as I was making this sauce. I use the Unico brand pasta sauce as that is my preference, but go ahead and use your favourite sauce. So, here it is now. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. This sauce freezes very well. I guessed at the amount of servings as I never really measured how many people it serves."
