Notes

  • This make almost 75 cups of sauce, that's a lot of sauce.
  • That said, I have a baguette beside the stove that I tear pieces off and dunk in the sauce as I snack and sample all day long. 
  • If not for my kids, I would also add a good 5 pounds of sliced mushrooms in there
  • I use my food processor to chop the veggies. A few pulses get sit just right.
