One gourmet cook book I have gives a recipe for "Italian Gravy", which is just a very hearty spaghetti sauce. Calls for: tomato puree, tomato paste, chicken or beef broth, dry red wine, onions, garlic, celery, carrot, parsley, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, oregano, rosemary, basil, cloves (optional), salt, black pepper, brown sugar and meat if you wish. Carrots, grated are a must for me in a good sauce or gravy. I had a friend who was a professional Chef. He made dinner for an X-mas party once, and a pot roast was one dish. The juice or gravy it was in was extraordinary in flavor. He said it was a standard red-eye gravy. Just add a can of tomatoes, or some paste to virtually any standard gravy to impart extra flavor. It's wonderful!!!
