Easy Vegetarian: Tomato Sauce

Last weekend Prince C's

grandparents brought me a lot of tomatoes. They were

beautiful. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat them all before they

went bad so....I made tomato sauce.

It was easy.

Ingredients:

-a bunch of ripe tomatoes

-olive oil

-salt and pepper

-red pepper flakes (if they float your boat)

-garlic

-onion

I used garlic from a tiny jar and onion flakes from the spice cabinet. I never have fresh versions of those things.

Cut up the tomatoes into sections and put them into a good sized pot with a few glugs of olive oil. Add red pepper flakes and the salt and pepper. Allow the tomatoes to soften. Around 15 minutes. Mash with a potato masher. Keep cooking.

After around an hour, mash them again, and then use the immersion blender on them.

Let cool. Freeze.

So far I have used the sauce for eggs in purgatory:

Tomato soup:

and plain ol' spaghetti.

It's been great. Try it out.

xxoo,

Frootie!
