Ugh! I'll never forget the time my mother invited my friend who was purely
Italian over for spaghetti dinner. Rather than make her usual sauce with
diced tomatoes and a couple of Tbs. of tomato paste, she used mostly paste.
And that's exactly what it tasted like... red paste. I was very
embarrassed. Red sauce (gravy) is normally something mom could do without
error, but not this time!

I'd say, buy some canned diced tomatos (or fresh, if they are available and
look nice). Ripley, TN tomatoes are abounding now; I need to get some and
make sauce
