Zesty Tomato Sauce

I wanted to try the zesty tomato sauce b/c when the tomatoes and eggplants come in I want to know if it is worth using this recipe or something else.  I like this recipe and I will use it for the Eggplant Parmesan.  The recipe is easy.  I did make a few changes.  I added both marjoram and oregano (more than the recipe called for) and I added 5 cloves of garlic.  I should have added a little more because I ended up sprinkling a little bit of garlic powder in at the end.  Oh, and I added a Tablespoon of brown sugar to even out the bitterness in the canned tomatoes. I used 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes and 8 ounces of diced.

Tonight I used the sauce to do a baked ziti.  I boiled the pasta, added some of the sauce, placed it in a 9 x 13 inch pan, topped it with a lot of shredded mozzarella and baked it at 400 until the cheese browned around the edges of the dish.  I brought it to a potluck and by the time my husband arrived there was one serving left.
