This is still on my stove right now simmering away...so my house smells like an Italian restaurant! The only thing I might change is to cut the black peper down. The cookbook calls for 1 teaspoon, I think that might be a typo...1/2 teaspoon would be better. Unless you like your sauce with a kick, then just leave it.Below is a picture to show how chunky I leave my veggies since they go into a food processor.
Then saute' them up before adding everything else..I process mine pretty fine so the kids and the husband don't detect the carrots!
I buy the cheapest wine to cook with...I know on Food Network they always say to buy nicer stuff since you are concentrating the flavors, but I thought this $2.98 bottle from Wal-mart fit into my budget very nicely! :) It adds a nice depth of flavor.
I don't have a picture of the sauce on pasta because first of all, it is still simmering, but I am about to cool it and stick it in the freezer for an emergency meal after the baby is born. (just a couple weeks to go!!)

That 1 teaspoon of black pepper probably came from me, as I never think anything has too much pepper in it! :) I love this sauce too. I divide it up into zipper-top baggies and freeze it flat. It will thaw very quickly to use for a fast meal. ~Janice
So you are the one who changed my pepper? I looked back at my original recipe and it just had 1/2 teaspoon. Adam will probably think it is fine, but the kids kept telling me it was spicy!
