This tomato sauce is another traditional sauce from Rome.  It is very delicious and easy to prepare.  As I now have a vegetarian, we sauteed some pancetta in a frying pan to keep meat out of the dish. We went to one restaurant where they flambe'd it. It was so good we went back twice to eat it again.  It didn't hurt that a half litre of house red wine was 3.50 Euro either.Very lively restaurant. We purchased the tourist take home in chilli flake powder.  You need to use it sparingly as it is very spicy.

Ingredients:

50g olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 small carrot
1 onion
