ENHANCE THAT JAR OF SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Enhance That Jar of Spaghetti Sauce image

I never have enough sauce from just a jar alone. I also like the taste of fresh ingredients. I like to combine both in this recipe! The red wine makes all the difference. Serve on favorite noodles with mozzarella cheese and mushrooms on top.
