Notes: this is a Sunday tradition, keep lots of crusty bread for dipping and tasting throughout the day. Bob says you HAVE to use Progresso or Contadina brand tomatoes. It took me 8 years to get a "Wow, that's almost as good as my mom's" from my Italian Man! I portion out some without the meat to use in other dishes-freezes well.
