Saw this in a 2009 issue of Family Circle. I tweaked it a bit to suit our taste, and DH was very happy with the results. It's really easy to make and is ready in no time. The Capicola gives it quite a bit of a kick-that's why I've tagged it (Spicy)-so I would go easy on the pepper until you taste test. If you you try it, I hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce, low sodium
2 cups water
