Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions, green peppers, and celery stalks to the pot.
  3. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and translucent, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Pour in the red wine and Angostura bitters, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Add the tomatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the vegetable mixture.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  7. Cover the pot and let the sauce simmer for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Uncover the pot and continue to simmer the sauce for two full days, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving over spaghetti.
