I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes and it still turned out great.

I'm allergic to basil, so I substituted oregano instead. It turned out really well!

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not usually a fan of tomato sauce, but this one is really good. It's not too acidic and the basil mellows out the flavor.
