2. I don't have a recipe as such, but a pretty solid 'starter' for any such sauce IMHO ...

Throw in blender or food processor and whack it for a few secs, then start cooking/adding spices.

REAL long simmering times are highly recommended (4-6 hours) in any kinda tomato sauce.

Also, note Cento makes other, similar-looking (and cheaper) products ... make sure you get the 'Product Of Italy' label.

Can never go too wrong with those tomatoes above, some sea salt, fresh ground pepper & basil & oregano, couple cloves of pressed garlic, granulated onion, and a dash of olive oil ... I also like a teaspoon or two of sugar, it doesn't make it sweet but brings out the flavor. That combo, simmered 6 hours, makes a great/versatile tomato sauce that's good on pizza or pasta.
