I have made this twice, and I am surprised at just how delicious it is.
I searched the NYT Cooking website for a tomato sauce recipe and went for this one out of sheer laziness--others looked appealing but required equipment or ingredients I didn't have. This couldn't be much simpler, and it has a very bright flavor. I used Bianco DiNapoli canned crushed organic tomatoes, which likely played a big role in the great results. I don't know how an ordinary brand would do.
I have been making a version of this tomato sauce for almost 20 years now. I have found that the brand of canned tomatoes doesn't really matter. I think the quality of the garlic, oil and onions does though.
This sauce is so much better than any commercial brand I've tried; less expensive as well.
