Ingredients

6 oz. (1.5 sticks) butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2.5 cups carrots, diced

2.5 cups celery, diced

2.5 cups onion, diced

2 large cans (28 oz. each) crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon sugar

1.5 tablespoons dried parsley

6 tablespoons parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons corn starch mixed with 1 tablespoon hot water (to thicken)

Directions

Melt butter in large pot on medium-low heat. Add garlic and pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often.

Add carrots, celery and onion. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are semi-translucent and tender (not crisp).

Stir in tomatoes, including juice, and parsley and sugar. Turn heat to low and let simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in parmesan cheese and simmer 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust spices and/or sugar. Mix corn starch and water and gradually stir into pot until slightly creamy (may not need all of mixture). Stir and cook a minute or two longer.

Serve on thin spaghetti or capellini.

Think I'm going to take the long road and do a simmer to give the ingredients time to join flavors and thicken naturally. I'm not a fan of thickening up pasta sauce with corn starch or flour unless under an extreme time constraint.
