One of my favorite things to do on a cold rainy Sunday is to hunker down and spend the day cooking. The more aromatic the dish the better. Today I played with my new toy - a 5 1/2 Qt Le Creuset Dutch Oven, care of my wonderful husband who brought Christmas 1 week early. I swear everything taste better in Le Creuset.
To me making the sauce is almost as enjoyable as eating it, I'm never able to replicate the same recipe twice - I get too wrapped up in adding/subtracting ingredients that each sauce takes on a life of it's own. My tomato sauce always consists of a few basics things like, San Marzano crushed tomatoes, yellow onion, garlic, red wine, tomato paste, basil, and chicken stock. Today's batch also managed to include carrot and prosciutto.
What could be better than playing with new toys in the kitchen on a rainy day?
