another 20 min or so. Stir in Romano cheese, taste & adjust seasoning, &
serve over your favorite pasta. (if serving Pasta Raphael cold, toss with
sauce and cool to room temp)

NOTES : I've added 1 or 2 cooked boneless chicken breasts, cut up. Can be
served over tortellini. Enough sauce for at least 4 lbs pasta.
