This is a really good recipe, I have made it for the second time now. I like keeping the pesto and tomato sauce separate, and putting the two sauces together to my own liking. Really hearty and tasty!
I just wathced the show where Martha has Valentino as her guest. A lovely recipe which I will make
The actual text for Direction #2 is: Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add onions, carrot, celery and sugar; cook until softened about 6-8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until thickened, about 25 minutes. Then go to #3, then #4 in the above recipe. It is a wonderful recipe with depth of flavor in the sauce!
If I remember correctly, put the pesto mixture in a large pot and heat, then ad the tomato sauce(with celery, ognion and carrot). Then add boiled pasta and mix. This is the part missing in the video. The recipy leaves out the part with the ingredients of the tomato sauce. Hope this helps.
a step seems to be missing in the directions, as well as the video :( please help!!
