Homemade, homegrown pizza-and-pasta sauce day.
I have the magic bubbling on the stove now. Fresh, sun-ripened tomatoes... onions I planted in long rows... garlic I ordered as cloves from Missouri... basil grown from seed- all of it went into my scuffed, black pot this morning. It's been puft puft puft-ing contentedly since. I'll eat what I can and freeze the rest for later.
Ever since Deb debuted her tomato sauce recipe, I've been messing with it. I add onions, a touch of olive oil, and herbs to mine, though. It tastes heavenly. (If you make it, don't skip the butter.) Totally worth all the work to make it happen. And so affordable when you grow it all yourself!
Here's to summer, hardworking girls everywhere, and the sweet taste of success, huh? -Brin
Ohhhh I love that stuff from Smitten Kitchen. I'm envying you your fresh from the garden yumminess. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am liking the garden magic Brin! I love home cooked spaghetti sauce.
ReplyDeleteMagic indeed and I'm hoping my garden survives this extreme heat wave and blesses me with toms and peppers! Hmm, butter, interesting!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of butter in sauce...I will try as soon as my tomatoes are ready.
ReplyDeleteRadishes, onions, and spinach are all we've had from our garden...oh and a little basil. It's too early for tomatoes in Pennsylvania so I'll wait (im)patiently for mine to grow.
Yum, this looks delish! I will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteLove the house someone is giving you! Beautiful.
