Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced garlic (5 to 6 cloves)
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • Four 15-ounce cans tomato sauce
