Not Your Ordinary Sauce

What is now simmering on my stove is NOT your ordinary sauce. This sauce did not come from a jar or a can. It is sauce from the garden and will decorate some pasta for dinner tonight.

The basic ingredients are tomatoes, green peppers, eggplant, onions, and garlic.They were all picked from the main garden about an hour ago. After they were washed and chopped and placed in my large stock pot, I made one final trip outside. This time it was to the kitchen herb garden.  Sauce just isn’t sauce with out fresh herbs.  I cut Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, and Garlic Chives.  They were quickly stirred into the sauce to simmer until this evening. Adding a little sea salt and fresh pepper, I completed my sauce.

Sometimes, I add a pound of burger to the sauce. Sometimes, I grate some mozzarella cheese. Tonight is neither. I have been making Pesto for several weeks. My Spaghetti noodles will be topped with the sauce and with Pesto. I make even make some garlic bread.

When we lived in the city, I bought sauce in a jar.  It was easy and quick. It was okay if you did not have anything to compare it to. Now we live in the country and grow our own sauce.  It is not easy and never quick, but it is the REAL DEAL!
