Salsa Di Pomodoro Piccante

One of the Tasty Kitchen members, cookinginbismarck, asked me to post my recipe for the tomato gravy I use with my eggplant Parmesan recipe. This is one spicy sauce I like to use. I think the spicy red pepper flakes add interest to this eggplant dish. Note that the whole tomatoes are crushed (Italian style) and not pureed as most commercial sauces; you can puree the sauce to make it American style.
