Ingredients

5 garlic cloves - finely chopped

1 cup red wine (be generous!)

2 cups shredded zucchini (about 1 whole, peeled zucchini)

1 medium onion - chopped

Two 14.5-oz cans of stewed tomatoes - Italian style

Two 14.5-oz cans of tomato sauce - Italian style

7-oz. can tomato paste

1 Tbl. kosher salt

1/2 Tbl. black pepper

1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper

1 Tbl. sugar

6 oz fresh spinach

1 medium green pepper - chopped

Directions

Pour about 1/2 cup of the red wine in a large, deep saute pan.

Add the garlic and saute for 5 minutes over medium to med-high heat.

Add the onion and zucchini. Pour in the rest of the wine. Stir well and cook for about another 5-7 minutes, stirring often.

Add the next 6 ingredients (through sugar) and stir well. Lower the heat (to medium) to maintain a simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (As the sauce cooks, you may want to cut some of the larger chunks of the stewed tomatoes as they become more tender.)

Stir in the spinach and green pepper and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I love easy pasta sauces. This looks good. And when you open a bottle of wine for the sauce, might as well have a glass while you're cooking!
