Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 6 Tbsp butter or margarine
  • ½ cup dry red wine or 1 Tbsp cooking sherry or GF balsamic vinegar
  • 28 oz canned whole tomatoes with juice crushed by hand
  • 1 cup fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

  • Soak mushrooms in 1 cup of hot water until tender, about 5 minutes. Strain through a paper to remove any grit. Reserve liquid and place mushrooms in a food processor along with carrots, celery, onion and thyme. Pulse veggies until finely chopped.
  • In a Dutch oven, melted butter then add minced veggies, sautéing for 5 minutes. Add wine and reserved mushroom liquid, bring to a simmer allowing to reduce by half.
  • Add tomatoes, and simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. For a saucier consistency you can add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
  • Just before serving stir in basil and season to taste with salt and pepper, then toss with your favorite gluten free pasta.
