Italian

So my garden gave rich rewards of Tomatoes
I started looking at all that have been harvested as fruit flies started appearing
To my amazement Tomatoes do not last forever
What to do with a ton of fresh tomatoes
Make Pasta Sauce

I boiled them
Then blended them
I did not have a cool smasher thing
the one that takes out the seeds and skins by pressing them through small holes
So I thought, Hey more fiber
But then who wants to chew on Seeds and skins while eating pasta

So my super cool blender got put to the test
After much blending, there was not sign of a seed or skin anywhere
Hooray.
Now onto the taste

Sauted the Onions and Garlic
Blended those too
Want it to smooth
Then with the fresh basil and Oregano from the garden too

Simmered all day long
Poured over spaghetti with lots of cheese added
(everything is better with lots of cheese)
What a delicious dinner

There was plenty left over to use another day, or five.
