Made with Tomato puree
Mutti® Tomato Puree (Passata) is sun-ripened 100% Italian tomatoes transformed into sweet velvety puree with just a touch of Mediterranean sea salt. After eliminating the skin and seeds, the tomatoes are pureed to achieve a smooth, luxurious texture while maintaining their bright red color and naturally sweet flavor. Fantastic in marinara sauce, tomato soup, or even a Bloody Mary.

- Place the oil in a large heavy bottomed pot with a lid. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes until soft, stirring regularly.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium and add the meat, stirring frequently, allowing it to brown all over for about 5 minutes.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the wine. Allow that to evaporate then add Mutti® Tomato Puree, Mutti® Double Concentrated Tomato Paste, bay leaf and nutmeg. When it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover.
