Make this delicious side dish into a full meal by using meat filled ravioli instead. Canned tomatoes can be rather salty for some people. After adding the tomatoes taste your sauce. You may decide you need to add a little salt to satisfy your family’s taste. Milk may be substituted for the half and half.
