Notes

The sauce, however, is simple to make, and all cooks in one pan. For this sauce recipe, I chose POMI tomatoes for a variety of reasons. 
Pomi chopped and strained tomatoes, for instance, have a single ingredient: fresh tomatoes ripened under the sun. For that reason, always try to use Pomi tomatoes in my recipes, because they are fresh, oil-free, and sugar-free.
