Spaghetti Sauce

I've been doing the Produce Box with my friend Colleen for a bit now.  Almost every week, we get fresh tomatoes, which are fabulous.  Colleen & I canned some in salsa and stewed form a couple weeks ago.  The only bummer about this is that I am the only one in the house  who will eat tomatoes raw! And I can only eat so many a week. So again I have a surplus. I had a few beefsteak tomatoes, a bunch of roma and some cherry ones which needed to get used up this week.  I went ahead and blanched them all and have tossed them in a pot to make fresh sauce for dinner tonight.  Let me just say, that cherry tomatoes are a pain to get the skin off of, even when blanched. They are messy.  I blended the tomatoes so they aren't too chunky, added garlic, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, olive oil and parsley. Somehow, I'm out of basil and oregano?!  But it should still be pretty tasty!

  1. The kids & Neil loved the sauce. I will get to try it for lunch tomorrow. I did find some basil & Italian seasoning to add in after I posted this.
