"This is a recipe that I have put together from several sources including my mother. It is my favorite sauce and it goes well with any pasta, even lasagna. Use a good quality wine and good quality sausage. This sauce always tastes better the next day after the flavors mingle over night."

Just added my first child to my family in June 2008. I am learning to be a good mom and homemaker and it is a real challenge, but a great one! I love to cook and try new ideas. I also love the outdoors, travel, live basketball, running, hiking...etc!! I am a southern girl at heart and I love being a housewife. I love all types of foods and I love to re-make recipes into a more "healthy" versions.
