For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the tomato sauce. Serve this dish over buttered egg noodles, creamy mashed potatoes, or a bed of polenta for a complete and satisfying meal. A bay leaf added during the simmering process will impart a subtle, aromatic depth to the sauce. Remember to remove it before serving. To thicken the sauce at the end of cooking, remove the lid and simmer for a few more minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate. Pair with a glass of the same red wine used in the recipe.
