This is one of my favourite pasta sauces I make on the occasions I need a quick dinner and kids love it! It freezes well so you can make a double portion and store the left overs in air-tight containers for the times life is too busy.

  4. If sauce still tastes acidic, add some honey or butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
