For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a parmesan rind while the sauce simmers. Remove it before serving. If the sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add a little water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. This sauce freezes beautifully! Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.
