Total cook & prep time: 2 hours 30 minutes, but well worth the wait.  Pasta sauce can be frozen & defrosted for later use! 
A snippet from bottomlesskitchen.com: "Pairs great with sautéed meatballs, sausage, chunks of pepperoni, eggplant/chicken/veal parmesan… always serve with grated pecorino romano or parmesan! PAB triples the recipe by using one 106 oz can of “Nina’s Italian Peeled Tomatoes” which can be obtained from Costco at a very reasonable price."
