How to Make Store Bought Pasta Sauce Gourmet

How to transform store-bought pasta sauce and a box of pasta into a Gourmet Dinner!


You Will Need:

2 Cloves Garlic
2 Tablespoons Butter
Favorite Veggies- My veggies of choice are Spinach and Zucchini
1 Cup Red Wine (any red wine will do)
1 Jar of Pasta Sauce
1 Box of Pasta (I used spaghetti)

Instructions:

    Cook Pasta (Follow directions on pasta packaging)
    Peel and Mince Garlic.
    Chop other Veggies into the desired size
    Sautee Garlic and Veggies in Pan with Butter
    Add Red Wine to Pan with Sauteed Veggies
    Cook pan on med heat, bring wine mixture to a simmer.
    Let the wine reduce. (5-10 minutes)
    Add Pasta Sauce to Wine mixture, and stir
    Let mixture cook for an additional 10 minutes. Allowing the alcohol in the wine to cook out.
    Mix Cooked Pasta and Sauce
    Serve and Enjoy


The trick to this recipe is adding the red wine to the mix! Red wine significantly changes the taste, this process allows for a rich flavorful sauce to come forth. You don't need an expensive bottle of wine. I always use 2 Buck Chuck from Trader Joes.
