A delightful twist on the classic Diane-style casserole, this recipe combines rich flavors with a simplified cooking process for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about one minute.
Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, cream, and brandy. Mix well.
Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet for any flavorful bits.
Simmer the mixture uncovered for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, not a rapid boil.
Add the beef base and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding salt or pepper to your preference.
Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Adding parsley at the end preserves its fresh flavor and vibrant color.
Serve the sauce over pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
Garnish with additional parsley for a touch of elegance.
