"If it had been an Italian who codified the world of cuisine, it would be thought of as Italian." -Escoffier, Chef
This is quick and easy and a delicious recipe. The hardest part is toasting the bread and making the bread crumbs. The recipe was developed using a bottled tomato sauce, but you can use tomato sauce that you have made and are keeping on hand.
Most prepared sauces that you can purchase have a fair amount of salt. There are some that are lower sodium and if you are on a sodium restricted diet you can make your own tomato sauce or look for the reduced salt versions.
Likewise, for those with GERD this works great with the Low Acid Tomato Sauce.
