This sauce was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more garlic and herbs.

This sauce was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less pancetta. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

This sauce is so easy to make, yet it tastes like it simmered for hours. The onions and pancetta give it a really rich flavor. I used it on penne pasta and it was delicious. Will definitely be making this again!

Sofia Loren's pasta sauce is a classic for a reason. It's simple, yet so flavorful. The onions and pancetta add a nice depth of flavor to the sauce, and the tomatoes are perfectly balanced. I served it over spaghetti and it was a hit with my family.
