1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large red onion -- sliced

1 carrot -- sliced

2 stalks celery -- sliced

4 cloves garlic -- minced

1/2 cup white wine

OR vegetable broth

1 cup tomato juice

1 8 oz can tomato paste

8 ounces uncooked rigatoni -- (4 cups cooked)

 

In a large skillet, combine oil, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Saute over

low heat; very slowly, to let the vegetables caramelize. Add the wine as needed

to avoid burning.

 

When these vegetables are lightly caramelized, add remaining ingredients and

in a large saucepan. Drain pasta when al dente and add to the sauteed

vegetables. Mix well and serve.
