2 (15oz) cans of (drained)
whole tomatoes
(or 10-12 fresh) diced
1 onion (sliced or chopped)
1 coarsely chopped leek
(or 6 green onions)
1 T pureed or finely
chopped garlic
1/4 t cayenne or dry jalapeno
1/2 t thyme
1/4 t sage
1 T parsley flakes
1 cup dry white wine
Salt to taste

 

Brown meat and drain, add onions just to
lightly cook them, add spices, stir well.
Add tomatoes, stir until they are mashed
and cooked into consistency desired.
Add liquid and simmer for about 30-40 minutes
or until cooked down to what you want to see.

Delicious with spaghetti, egg noodles,
shells or just about anything.
Remember, black pepper doesn't digest,
so use it sparingly.
Both cayenne and jalapeno digest easily.
