Sicilian Style Pasta Sauce W/Meat or Not
"This recipe was concocted from a base of an old Sicilian recipe, then morphed into something that used what I had on hand. And a great way to use those nefarious, too soft, canned carrots that we all wish we would have frozen instead! It was a hit with the teens and quite flavorful. From my kitchen to yours. Buon appetito!"

COVID found us on the east coast so our travels came to a halt. We are now planted in Watervliet, NY. Kind of enjoying it. Back to cooking in an updated kitchen and having all my toys. Good times!
