Ingredients

EVOO

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

handful fresh mushrooms, chopped (opt)

1 carrot chopped (opt)

1 celery stalk, chopped (opt)

3 cloves garlic, minced

Dash of kosher salt and pepper

tsp basil

tsp parsley

tsp oregano

tsp thyme

1/2 cup red wine

1 jar pasta sauce (or your own simple tomato sauce)

(ground meat is optional, sometimes I add it and sometimes I don't)

Directions

In medium stockpot, saute first 6 veggies in EVOO, until soft

You can use any additional veggies you like...or have on hand

add garlic

Add dash kosher salt and pepper

Add herbs

Saute for 1 minute

Turn up heat and add red wine

Cook for 1 minute

Add pasta sauce

(I use Hunts original, because it is simple, tomato sauce, but you can use any jarred sauce, or make your own)

*I usually let it simmer 2 hours over very low heat, but once the sauce is warmed through it is ready. It gets better the longer you let it simmer!

**serve over pasta, or any Italian dish of your choice

***It's also wonderful to make with ground beef and Italian sausage mixed in, served over wheat pasta!

As you can see it has many variations! Enjoy!

Sounds like a plan! I'll make the garlic bread to dip into the sauce while the pasta cooks!
