I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I wasn't able to try this sauce. But it sounds delicious!

This sauce is a great meal prep option. I made a big batch of it on the weekend and then used it throughout the week on pasta, chicken, and even eggs.

This sauce was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some salt and pepper to it to make it more flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really liked this sauce. It was very flavorful and I didn't even notice the tomatoes.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra carrots or celery in the fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I added some Italian sausage to this sauce and it was amazing! It gave it a nice spicy kick.

I couldn't find any canned diced tomatoes, so I used fresh tomatoes instead. It worked out great and the sauce was still delicious.

This sauce was a bit too acidic for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and I'll definitely try it again with some adjustments.
