"Super lesson. You didn't leave anything out. The videos made it easy. Next time, however, I am going to only use half of the liquid from the San Marzano 28 oz cans. I prefer a thicker sauce. I hope it freezes well. Thanks, Jeff"

"We decided to leverage the tomato sauce per Rouxbe. The "mill" that we purchased did a poor job of removing the seeds from the tomatoes! This was unexpected. It is probably worth noting that the "mill" needs a decent tomato seed screen or something to this angle. We also followed the chicken parm recipe, and it was good. We look forward to learning more about how to add some more flavor to the sauce."

"Again, this has helped fill in some gaps of knowledge for my cooking. For example, I have always covered my sauce to simmer instead of allowing for some evaporation. Because of this, my sauce was always a bit watery, so this has helped."
