This flavorful sauce is ideal for pastas and as an accompaniment to or as the base for a sauce for beef or hearty poultry, such as turkey. 
*NOTE:  See separate recipe for Roasted Vegetable Stock Bring all the ingredients to a boil in a med saucepan.  Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 - 30 min, or until the solids are very soft. 
Strain the stock, reserving the solids. Transfer the solids to a food processor or mini-chop, and process to a smooth puree, adding a bit of stock, if nec. Add the remaining stock to the processor, and pulse to combine.  Return the sauce to the saucepan, and heat just to a boil. Pour into a sauce bowl, and serve. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
