This recipe looks great! I’m planning to try it but wanted to clarify — the ingredients list includes both 1 can of tomato sauce and a 28 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes blended in the food processor. Do you use a 15 oz can of tomato sauce or an 8 oz can? Thank you!
Hi Kay. I believe that there is an error in the recipe. Thank you for pointing it out. It should be just that one 8 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes. I apologize for the confusion.
Thank you so much, and no apologies needed! :)
