This Sauce happened by mistake. I was desperately in need of food shopping last Friday night and Marley really wanted pasta and red sauce for dinner and I went to the Pantry and my supply of lazy man organic sauce was gone.
Oh Crap, now what? I am really good at improvising in the kitchen so that's what I did. I had a large can of Organic Diced Tomatoes, low sodium, along with Vidalia Onions and Red and Orange Peppers. And this sauce was born.
Ingredients:
1 Sweet Onion
1-2 sweet peppers (any color)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (preferably organic)
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
1 tsp dried Basil
1 tsp dried Oregano
1/2 Cup of greens (spinach is well masked by this, can also try zucchini, summer squash or whatever comes out of your garden)
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a large skillet, soften Onions and garlic, until translucent, then add Peppers, allow vegetables to soften, and add Diced tomatoes, Basil and Oregano and other veggies if using. Let simmer 5-8 Minutes until flavors mingle, add salt and pepper and simmer another 2 minutes.
For adults or older kids you can serve this straight over pasta, or as a Pizza sauce, for smaller kids, pulse is a food processor or blender until smooth (or desired consistency), then top pizza, pasta or whatever else your mind can think of. This would also go great with my roasted Italian Veggies Recipe.
This Sauce was so yummy, now she wants Pasta with "Your sauce mom".
Up next Desserts and some Veggie side dishes, then maybe her favorite smoothie!
Namaste,
Pam
