That sounds really creative. Did you make this up or adapt it from another recipe?
It's mine. I normally make it with traditional spaghetti sauce, but I saw this and thought it would be a nice change. It is expensive sauce but it is worth the $$$. :) You can get it at Henry's.
Ah how I miss Henry's. Sigh....
