- Depending on amount of macaroni cooked, I have used 28 oz can of tomatoes.
- I have also used italian style tomatoes and chili tomatoes which give it a slightly different flavour, but plain tomatoes are best for our family preference. I have tried canned tomatoes with olive oil and spices (to be used for brushetta) and they are too oily and doesn't result have good results.

Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the macaroni and tomatoes. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together and will give you enough room to stir the sauce.
- Add a little bit of salt to the water when you boil the macaroni. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from becoming bland.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a variety of tomatoes in your sauce. This will give the sauce a more complex flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs to the sauce, such as basil, oregano, or thyme. This will help to brighten the flavor of the sauce.
- Serve the macaroni and tomatoes with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
