How to Make Pasta Sauce From Scratch

It is hard to find a better tasting dish than homemade pasta. This is my own delicious recipe that I rely on every time I want to cook a good meal with minimal effort. It is an inexpensive dish, healthy, and feeds lots of people!

Things You'll Need

• 2 Cans diced tomatoes
• 2 Cans tomato paste
• Chopped vegetables of your choice, I use:
• Onions, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, celery, etc.
• Pasta of your choice; noodles, macaroni, etc.
• Fresh

Instructions

1. Wash and chop all of your vegetables. Toss the onions in a pan and saute them while you cut up the rest of the vegetables (the onions taste best a bit caramelized). Once the onions are cooked well, combine all the veggies and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes. Use seasoning of your choice; fresh chopped garlic, or italian seasoning are both good.

2. Using a saucepan, combine and heat both the diced tomato and tomato sauces. Add all of your sauteed vegetables and stir thoroughly. Cook for as long as convenient; the longer you let it sit on the stove simmering, the better the flavor.

3. Just before you are ready to eat, cook your pasta. Typically you need to boil the water first, then reduce to medium/high heat for 7-9 minutes, but follow the directions on your pasta packaging for best results. Let the noodles drain. Now pile your pasta noodles onto a plate and top with the veggie filled sauce. Yum!
