The Pot Thickens

So much for the peas. It seems as if every time I get out the dutch oven, I end up with the same dish. I started on the soffrito. Olive oil, onions, garlic, peppers, and spices were gently simmering away. Sure enough, when it came time to add the tomatoes, two cans were added along with basil, sugar, cherry peppers, olives, and mushrooms. Every time I get out the dutch oven I end up with spaghetti sauce. Why? Because I love linguine. For meat I sauteed up some boneless short ribs and let them braise for several hours in the sauce. I know what the menu will be for the next several days as I have a great deal of leftover sauce and three boxes of linguine. Life is looking very good right now.
