Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash face down in pan with about an inch of water and cook for approximately 45 minutes. Done when you can use your finger and push the skin and leave an indent. Take out and use a fork to pull stringed squash out into a bowl, salt and pepper to taste.

Heat oil in pan and saute onion, pepper, celery. Mash fresh oregano and basil with chopped tomatoes with potato smasher. Also, if you remember blanch and peel the tomatoes before chopping and mashing. Add to the sauteed vegetables and wine and simmer for about an hour.
