My friend who worked in the Italian restaurant in New York taught me how to make genovese sauce.
Since then, I haven't bought any ready-made sauce because I learnt how delicious the homemade sauce is!

If you mix this sauce with cooked pasta, it turns into pasta genovese.
If you use this for a pizza, make the sauce without cheese, and sprinkle the cheese on top when you bake it. Recipe by Maria358
