I'm not a fan of tomato sauce, but this one is really good! It's not too acidic and the flavors are really well-balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.

This sauce is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and it's so flavorful! I love the addition of the bell peppers and onions, they add a nice sweetness to the sauce.
