been trying to make more thing with fresh veggies etc., plus being healthier, hubby loves the recipes I've been inventing lately. could never find a canned spaghetti / pasta sauce that he really loved.. we've discussed what he does like in a sauce, & for one figured out he doesnt care much for a lot of oregano, which is usually found in canned sauses & most recipes. so this one does have some oregano, but only whats in the one can of tomatoes. I gotta brag a bit, this sauce is yummy, really fresh tasting even tho some stuff is canned. so here ya go ::::
