Notes: 1). The parmigiano rind is not totally necessary, but it is a great way to add depth to the sauce without much by way of extra calories. 2). If cooking the sauce for a long time to further develop the flavors, add 1 to 2 cups of water (1/4 cup at a time) to achieve desired consistency. Cook on very low heat, covered, stirring about every 5-10 minutes for 4-6 hours.
