For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans along with the tomatoes. If you like a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce after simmering. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add a pinch more salt, pepper, or sugar to balance the flavors. This sauce freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers or bags. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
