Looks amazing!!
Do you add fennel?
Fennel is a must! I add some celery too. All fresh of course. It goes so well with seafood.
I pretend I'm an old Italian grandmother making Sunday "gravy" with the base sauce. The best peeled Italian tomatoes too. I also have an indoor hydroponic herb and veggie unit that provided some of the ingredients.... basil and Italian parsley for sure. I also plucked some cherry peppers and a few cayenne peppers that were ripe too. You cannot rush that blending process with the sauce.... and I weirdly enjoy letting it all come together because I have experienced the difference. I'm not Italian, but I had some Italian great aunts who grew up in Italy and their food proved to me that they were beyond experts in making heavenly tasting food. They were like mad scientists in the kitchen and they were always in the kitchen even if it wasn't their kitchen.
