Ingredients

1 Jar Chunky Ragu Spaghetti Sauce

1 Large Onion Diced

5 Cloves Garlic (Peeled & Sliced, Not diced)

4 Carrots (Fine Dice in Food Processor)

1 Mini Sweet Pepper (red) from Mexico (Roasted over stovetop fire till blackened. Deseeded)

1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Hot Optional

2 Tablespoons Oregano

1 1/2 Tablespoon Basil

1 teaspoons Sea Salt

Olive Oil

Angel Hair Pasta (About a Nickel='s aprox 2 ortions

Olive Oil

1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt

Directions

In Large Stovetop Pot, pour in about 4 to 6 Cups Water.

Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil & 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt & turn on High to boil.

Cut tips & bases off Carrots & cut into 1/2 to 3/4 " slices. Grind to tiny pieces, set aside.

Dice Onion & Put into High Edged Skillet over Med/High heat

Add the Oregano, Basil, Sea Salt & stir.

Cook Onions for at least 5 minutes. Add sliced Garlic & stir. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add finely diced Carrots & stir.

Slice the blackened Mini Red Pepper into bit sized pieces & dump into saute pan. Stir

Cook Ingredients in Saute Pan for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.

Pour in the Bottle of Ragu Chunky garden Sauce.

By this time your Pasta water should be boiling, add Pasta & stir.

I like mine al dente or with a bite instead of being Baby Mush. Takes about 7 minutes.

Stir the sauce while you stir the Pasta.

Taste a strand of Pasta, if it's to your liking, drain it.

Put Pasta onto two plates & put the Ragu Meets Me over the Pasta. Sprinkle with your favorite Cheese.

The texture of the Carrots are just like Ground Beef, but there's no Beef.

I put a little Mesculin Salad on the side with my Simple Salad Dressing.

I'll leave my favorite Garlic Bread Recipe soon.

Pour 2 glasses of Red Wine & share this amazing Gravy (Italians call Tomato sauce Gravy) & Pasta with someone you care for.

Bueno Appetito

I could go for this...it's currently raining and perishing cold and we're both currently getting over a tummy bug and beginning to feel hungry again.

Chortling at your 'tags' and loving your new pics of Jo. What a character!

Who is the gentleman in that great photo?

Hoping you and Jo are well.
