when life gives you tomatoes...

make tomato sauce!

I made a wonderful sauce for dinner last night using some of the
tomatoes from our own garden, a red onion from the root cellar, 
rich virgin olive oil, some organic dried basil and the recipe from 
Stephanie Alexander and Maggie Beer's great  Tuscan Cookbook

I added a tsp of vegie stock and a tbsp of sugar to please Ari's palate.


Over home-made pasta (there's a great gnocchi recipe in the book) and 

topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese, it's simple and delicious...

and sure to please the fussiest eaters. The chew chew spoon helps too!

You cannot safely bottle the recipe due to the ph level but I plan to give 

this recipe for bottled pasta sauce a go when the next tomato crop ripens.

I found it via this post on tomatoes by the always delicious Food In Jars.

Bon Appétit
