    very nice and easy to make. I added 6 oz. of tomato paste and let it simmer with lid partially covered for 1 hour to thicken, stirring occasionally. Worked and tasted great!

    Delicious sauce full of veggies. I served this at a dinner party and wine tasting, and everyone loved it. This sauce is thinner than I expected, but I enjoyed the departure. I froze the leftover sauce and thickened with a grated parm after thawing for an easy weeknight dinner the following week. It was even better the second time around.

    This was a simple recipe to prepare, however, it seemed a bit too oily and thin, so I elected to add a 6 oz can of tomato paste to thicken it. I also salted & peppered throughout the vegetable-rendering process, to layer the flavors. I then added cup of very good red wine to add another dimension of flavor.

    Thank you ashleydawn. I made this and it didn't taste right. Your suggestion of balsamic vinegar made all the difference. i added it at the end, and it balanced the flavors nicely.

    Love this recipe - simple and delicious! I frequently add other veggies (zucchini, peppers, mushrooms to make it even heartier, and it comes out great. I usually double the recipe and freeze the leftovers.

    This recipe is a good base. I did add a few things, but I alway do. My husband tells me that I never can just leave a recipe alone. So I did add a TB of tomato pasta, 2 TB of Fig Balsamic Vinegar, as well as some oregano, and red pepper flake. I also love garlic so, I always double the garlic on any recipe, I make. I also added a pinch of nutmeg. It turned out pretty yummy.

    Good for a quick meal but I wish I had read the comments about adding balsamic vinegar for a more full flavor!
