Mama Rita Ferro's Tomato Cioppino Sauce recipe.  

Mama Rita Ferro's
Tomato Cioppino Sauce
Italian Recipe

This recipe comes from my friend and Italian cooking expert, Rita Ferro. She insists on making the sauce for cioppino (Italian seafood stew) a day in advance, so that the flavors have time to mature. As an added bonus, prepping ahead makes assembling the final dish pretty easy!
