Notes
About 50% of the individuals who have made this received a "burn notice" for too little liquid. Crushed tomatoes can vary greatly by brand as to how much liquid versus whole tomato is in the can. If yours is more of a puree, add 1 cup of water. If yours has large chunks of tomato and is less liquidy or really thick, add an additional 1/2 cup (1 1/2 cups total) water. Toss well when finished and allow to sit to let some of the water mix into the sauce.
