I recently found a great little fruit and veggie stand near my with tomatoes for $0.89 a pound. Which is just fantastic considering they are usually over $2.00 a pound! To commemorate this, fresh tomato sauce!
Ingredients
1lb tomatoes
3tbs olive oil (NOT extra virgin)
1tbs minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
.5tsp dried oregano
.5tsp dried basil
Directions
Chop tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat oil in a pan and add in minced garlic and cook on a medium heat for a minute or so until just barely getting brown.
Add in tomatoes and basil and oregano, cook just until the tomatoes are nice and warm. Mix in salt and pepper to taste. Usually I take a potato masher and squish it all down, but if you prefer it chunky leave it chunky.
While cooking the sauce, cook the spaghetti to desired doneness.
Spaghetti $0.89
Tomatoes $0.89*
Garlic $0.05
$1.83
*Tomatoes vary by price, I usually only make home made sauce when they are on sale.
