Comments
2 CUPS butter? MUST be a mistake. I saute the vegetables in only 1 Tbs. butter and 2 Tbs. olive oil. I don't think that much butter is necessary. The liquid in the tomatoes is quite enough to simmer for the 40 min. Add water if necessary.
it shouldn't be 2 cups butter, way too much. I changed the amount to 3 tablespoons or half butter and half olive oil. Thanks for pointing it out, and the picture looks great like always! Thanks for sharing :)
