Portly Spaghetti Sauce
"One thing we are sworn to do where I work is listen to our customers.
That paid off big time for me when, the other day, a customer was looking for a tawny port. She said she was in town visiting her family and she had to have it for her spaghetti sauce.
I took her to the port and then inquired about her sauce.
This recipe is what she told me. It's one of those "Go Figure" recipes that turned out every bit as delicious as she said it would.
You can taste a little of the sweetness, but it's a great variation and we enjoyed it very much."

Very good! Easy to do without a lot of fuss. I used 1/2 cup Emu 999 Australian Port and Prego Mushroom spaghetti sauce. It was just right! Another time I used ground turkey and it is still good. Thanks for a great recipe! -
This is a lovely, slightly sweet pasta sauce. I used ground venison and baby bella mushrooms. A nice combination over cheese raviolis.

A former journalist and wine consultant, I'm now on disability because I have MS. I am passionate about children's advocacy issues, Marc Chagall and international cuisine.
My biggest pet peeve is people in the grocery checkout line who "forgot just one little thing" and leave the line, holding everybody else hostage until he or she finishes shopping.
I enjoy helping my friends NCMystery Shopper, Mama's Kitchen and Chef V co-host the Beverages forum here on Zaar. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
