   • Start by draining the sun-dried tomatoes, ensuring to reserve 1/4 cup of the flavorful oil.
   • Chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces and set them aside for later use.

2. Saute Aromatic Vegetables:

   • Heat the reserved oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
   • Add finely chopped onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic to the heated oil.
   • Saute the vegetables for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender and fragrant.

3. Create the Sauce Base:

   • Once the vegetables are softened, stir in both the dried sun-dried tomatoes and the whole canned tomatoes.
   • Pour in the dry white wine to infuse the sauce with a subtle depth of flavor.
   • Season the mixture with dried fennel seeds and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

4. Simmer to Perfection:

   • Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered over medium heat for approximately 1 hour or until it reaches your desired consistency.
   • Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure all the flavors meld together beautifully.

5. Blend for Texture:

   • To achieve a smooth yet textured sauce, transfer half of the mixture into a food processor.
   • Pulse the mixture 4 or 5 times until it is finely chopped but not completely smooth.
   • Repeat the same process with the remaining half of the sauce mixture, ensuring a consistent texture throughout.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the sauce reaches its desired consistency and texture, it’s ready to be enjoyed!
   • Serve the Sun-Dried Tomato Spaghetti Sauce over piping hot pasta of your choice, allowing the flavors to mingle and create a memorable dining experience.
