A good sauce elevates a meal from ho-hum to yum-yum! This Creamy Tomato Wine Sauce is equally delicious on chicken or fish. You can also pour it over angel hair pasta or steamed rice for a tasty side dish.

LWD tip: Keep boxed wines (one red and one white) in the fridge for delicious sauces without having to open a bottle. I enjoy a nice glass of wine with a meal sometimes but if David is on call and can’t have any I don’t like to open a bottle just for myself. Having boxed wine in the fridge means I can still make a wine-based sauce.
