When I first moved out on my own, I simmered my tomato sauces forever. I
often used tomatoes that I had grown in my garden.

I no longer do that. Not that it's bad thing to do. I just don't like
Italian food that much for it to matter. Now I sometimes buy canned or
jarred sauces or even just use an plain tomato sauce or puree, perhaps
adding additional seasonings. I realized that for the most part, if I were
eating pizza or pasta it was either a quick meal or I was just using up
ingredients.
