Simple is right. Very easy to pull together once you put the tomatoes through the food mill (and this is not a step I would skip because it makes such a difference to the texture of the sauce). The flavor has more heat (from red pepper flakes) than I was expecting (so I may not use this on the gnocchi as planned because it might overwhelm them), but Lidia recommends letting the flavors mellow for 1-2 hours after cooking (so allow about four hours for prep and cooking and mellowing) so we'll see...
Two hours later -- Lidia was right. Flavor has nicely mellowed and should be perfect for the gnocchi I am planning.
One hour later -- And it was. :-)
