Pour the can of tomatoes into a large bowl and gently tear each tomato into pieces. Rinse the tomato can using the Pinot Noir.

Add Pesto and Pinot (from the tomato can) and cook until liquid reduces, about 5 minutes. While reducing the liquid in the large pan, brown mushrooms in pan sprayed with olive oil (in two batches to ensure they brown evenly) and add to other ingredients.

Clean the basil, stack several leaves together lengthwise and chop across the leaves, do this until all the leaves are chopped then add to the sauce mixture.

Add Mrs. Dash and Kosher Salt (optional) . . .

Let this simmer on very low heat for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour (stirring occasionally) . . . I let it go for about 4 hours . . . talk about flavor!!!

Serve over your favorite whole grain pasta and enjoy!!
