Your typical tomato sauce recipe calls for plenty of chopping and time! Many sauce purists, in fact, claim the only way to achieve deliciousness is by simmering tomato sauce for hours on the stovetop, allowing flavors to blend and fully integrate.

This recipe is super quick, but provides a sauce that truly tastes as if you had labored over it for hours. I knew this was a must-share recipe when a friend of mine who consider herself a “sauce connoisseur” proclaimed this one of her top-three all-time favorite sauces and demanded the recipe.
