Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice up all veggies as directed under Ingredients

  2. 2

    I used an electric skillet, but a fry pan will work just as well - add a little oil and sautee onions & garlic until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Next, add the rest of the veggies, spices, wine and the sauce and cover.

  4. 4

    Let mixture simmer so flavors can blend - ab 30 minutes. After 30 min mark, take lid off and add butter (to balance acidity), and let sauce simmer/reduce until desired thickness. I go about another 30 minutes to achieve thick & chunky status 👌

  5. 5

    During this time, boil a pot of salted water.

  6. 6

    Add spaghetti noodles and boil about 3 minutes (I like my pasta firm!)

  7. 7

    Drain pasta, rinse with cold water and plate. Add the hot sauce mixture on top of noodles, top with parmesan & enjoy with the tramp in your life 😘

  8. 8

    🌟Omit the cheese to make this a delicious Vegan dish!
