Add in 1 cup broth and wine; simmer uncovered until liquid is slightly reduced (about 20 minutes). | 6. Add in the fresh basil; cover and simmer until the veggies are very tender, stirring occasionally. | 7. Continue to simmer for about 45-50 minutes, adding in more broth by about 1/4 cup if the liquid evaporates to quickly, and cook until the Ragu thickens to desired consistency. | 8.
