Reviews

It is worth the effort to hunt through stores to find the canned Italian plum tomatoes imported from Italy. It makes such a huge difference than big brand tomatoes. It is the only canned tomatoes I have seen WITHOUT huge amounts of salt added. Check the label, if the canned tomatoes you use have salt there will be no need to add any to this recipe. Wish there was a way to remove the salt once it has been added to the can.
