"FAKE" SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion is soft and golden, just before caramelization.
• Add the red wine and stir well. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer 5 minutes, or until the pungent smell of alcohol is gone.
• Add the tomatoes and break them down roughly with a wooden spoon. Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and cook over low heat 30 to 40 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the flavors blend. Toss with just-cooked pasta and serve with shredded parmigiano cheese.

MOCK HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter (I use 'I can't believe it's not butter' light) in the microwave
• 2. Whisk in the mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's light) and the lemon juice
• 3. Let sit at room temperature until veggies are cooked, then pour sauce directly onto them. The heat from the veggies heats the sauce.
• 4. This is a great quickie sauce for broccoli, asparagus or quick eggs benedict.
