    Description

    A Tuscan-Style spaghetti sauce features fresh, flavorful tomatoes, without a lot of other ingredients. This recipe works well with any type of pasta. Count on the lively freshness and crisp character of Mantellassi Mentore Morellino di Scansano wine to play nice with the tart and feisty tomatoes in this pasta.
