Man those pics. bring back memories of my fathers Mother (Rita Pincotti). She would make her own sauce like that. She would use some red pepper as well in her's as I recall. She died when I was about 13. She was only like 53 I believe. Old school gal from Italy. I wish Id had more time to know her.

ALSO; Tomatos from the eastern shore in Va. make the best sauce. Something to do with the soil gives them a fantastic flavor. Serriously..
