1 tsp. or more of garlic
1 Small can of petite diced tomatoes (without the juice for starters)
Small bit of meat (optional)...leftovers are good for this (pork roast, bacon, steak)

DIRECTIONS:
Mince up meat pieces - cook them in a splash of olive oil
Remove from pan, quickly cook down the remains with wine or stock
Saute onions, celery, carrots...add in pepper and garlic 'til tender
