Fettuccine with Marinara Sauce Tom & Kari

We love this recipe. Supposedly it serves 8, but for us, it will serve 4 at the

most! At one point in the recipe it calls for the removal of the bay leaf If you

forget, no problem. Tradition is that whomever finds the bay leaf on their plate,

has to clean up after dinner! Also, for those of you not allergic to shellfish,

rumor has it that sauteed shrimp is a special treat in the marinara sauce!

1 green pepper, chopped

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
