Ingredients List
Important Notes
This recipe is a simplified, smaller-batch home version of the meat sauce served at the restaurant.
Processing the vegetables in a food processor allows them to melt seamlessly into the sauce during the long simmer.
Adding a small splash of water helps rinse the tomato residue from the container and allows the sauce to heat up faster.
This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator, jarred, or frozen for future meals.
