This is a sauce that is better when cooked for a few hours. I taste it every so often and adjust the seasonings.

2When meat has cooked, add the tomato products. Cook on low heat about 30 min to get sauce to thicken. Taste and re-season as needed. You may want to add 1/4 cup freshly grated Romano cheese as the last ingredient.
