Over the years, our family Christmas dinners spent at my Uncle Carmen’s house would include a first course of pasta with his recipe of a winter sauce.


He gave me his recipe several years ago, and whenever I make it, it brings back great memories So flavorful and delicious!


Take a look at the below video and give it a try.

about an hour.

blender to puree mixture. ( set aside )
