"I combined two of my favorite things for the ultimate comfort food: grilled cheese and puttanesca tomato sauce. The Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes with Roasted Garlic gives the sauce so much flavor and the fried capers are the perfect added crunch.
*The sauce makes enough for about 6 total sandwiches."
