For me this dish tells it all. Mom, Home and Family. When you grow up in an Italian household there is never a Sunday without pasta and the family together. It just wouldn't be right. Angel Hair Pasta is one of the finest gifts to hand down from generation to generation. When the sauce is Home Made, There’s just nothing like it. That stuff you get in a jar or even in restaurants is loaded with salt. They generally start out at well over 850 mg of sodium and that is on the extreme low side. Try this one on for size, 258 mg’s of sodium, And a thousand percent Great Taste.

Onions and saute till tender (about 4 minutes), add garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute then add bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes more.
When the veggies are done add tomato paste. Mix in with the veggies making sure that you blend everything in the pan.
Add the plum tomatoes to your mix & one cup of water. Combine with the veggies and paste. Simmer on low for 15 minutes then add the basil, oregano & parsley. Add the wine, sugar, and 1/2 tsp of salt (no more).
