Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pot over low heat, and cook and stir the garlic until tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, and mash with a potato masher to leave the tomatoes in chunks. Stir in tomato paste, red wine, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper, and mix until the tomato paste is smoothly combined into the sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, while you prepare the vegetables.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the carrot and celery until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir into the sauce. In the same skillet, cook and stir the green peppers and onions until the onions are translucent, 5 to 8 more minutes; mix them to the sauce. Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet, and cook and stir the mushrooms until they give up their liquid, about 10 minutes; stir the mushrooms into the sauce. Allow sauce to simmer while you cook the chicken.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip chicken pieces in egg, then dredge in flour. Tap off any excess flour, and brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Set the chicken pieces aside.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Spoon about 1 cup of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Place the chicken pieces into the Dutch oven, and pour remaining sauce and vegetables over the chicken; cover.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, about 1 hour. If sauce begins to boil harder than a simmer, reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- About 15 minutes before serving time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in the linguine pasta, bring back to a boil, and cook, stirring often, until the linguine is tender but still slightly firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta well.
- Turn the linguine out onto a large platter, and top with the chicken and sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese to serve.

Steps:
- Saute onions in butter until very tender.
- Add mushrooms and saute additional 2- 3 minutes.
- Add wine, simmer, and reduce by half.
- Add tomato puree and gravy and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste with Maggi, salt and pepper.
- You can also add your favorite herbs to this sauce.
Tips:
- To make a smooth and flavorful sauce, use a food processor or blender to purée the shallots, garlic, and mushrooms until they are very fine.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mince the shallots, garlic, and mushrooms by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they will blend well with the other ingredients.
- Use a good quality dry white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine will help to brighten the flavor of the sauce and prevent it from becoming too heavy.
- If you don't have any dry white wine, you can use chicken broth or water instead. However, the sauce will not have as much flavor if you use chicken broth or water.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Serve the sauce over chicken, fish, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for bread or crackers.
