Right now we have tomatoes galore. They are coming in from the garden faster than we know what to do with them. Tonight my husband wanted me to make spaghetti. I thought sure why not and why not do a fresh sauce to go along with it.
Fresh Tomato Sauce
This is a recipe from my Vitamix. I am sure that you can do the same thing with a good blender.
6 roma tomatoes, quartered
1 small onion, peeled, halved
1 small carrot, halved
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place everything in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and simmer for 35-40 minutes.
I made regular spaghetti pasta, served it with a ground beef sausage (grassfed of course) and a side salad with French Dressing.
French Dressing
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup olive oil
Put all contents into a jar and shake until mixed.
