Notes: I love to make a huge batch of this sauce and then freeze smaller portions for every day. There's nothing like a fresh cooked meal without the fuss. I always like to cook extra portions. If I'm going to mess up my kitchen, use the food processorBe sure to use fettuccine or linguine to help absorb the sauce, which is thick (meat and veggies) and thin (fresh tomatoes) all at the same time. My friend and colleague, Sabine, introduced me to this creation at least 25 years ago and we have enjoyed it often. It's pure comfort food to me with tons of flavour...love, love, love it!
