Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add the dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. This sauce can be served with pasta, meatballs, or as a base for other dishes.
