Turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 1.5 to 3 hours. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor. Don't add anymore salt until after the sauce has cooked down.

Personal Notes:
Our mom Elizabeth made this often and always served it with the traditonal garlic bread, green salad and Kraft parmesan cheese in the green sprinkle can. Still a delicious, satisfying meal with one small change... use a hunk of good, fresh parmesan and pass it around the table with a grater. A glass of Chianti would be good too!
