1/4 cup red wine |
salt and pepper |
Directions:

2. Add onion, celery, carrot, tomato paste and basil.
3. Cook over moderate heat, covered for 30 to 40 minutes.
4. Remove lid and continue cooking 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
5. When the sauce reaches the desired thickness, stir in the butter, wine and seasonings.
