A little bit yes and no. It's a recipe passed down and brought over with my grandfather from Sicily and goes back 8 generations. I've changed it a bit. Normally I use fresh tomatoes from the garden, but ours aren't ready yet so canned it was. The store bought tomatoes are pumped with air or gas prior to shipment to help turn them red during shipping. They are tasteless as a result, which is why I have to use canned when I don't have my own available.
