A Simple Pasta Sauce Recipe

A Simple Pasta Sauce Recipe

Makes 3-4 servings

  • Chop cooking orange skinned onions (2 small or 1 big).
  • Pan on medium heat.
  • Pour olive oil to coat pan.
  • Drop chunks of onions in pan & cook until onions are clear & soft.
  • Cut garlic & put in pan.
  • Add a little water in pan so that the onions do not burn.
  • Add a can of tomato sauce (diced tomatoes).
  • After the sauce is poured, fill 1/3 of the can with water to add the excess sauce in the pan.
  • Reduce heat.
  • Rinse/chop/add mushrooms & put in pan. *
  • Cut 1/2 or 1/4 tomato & add in pan.
  • Add spices (salt, chili pepper, basil, oregano, italian style seasoning, etc.).
  • Leave on low heat for 25-30 minutes.
  • Stir every 2-3 minutes. **
  • 10 minutes before the sauce is done, boil a separate pot of water for the pasta. Put salt in the water.
  • Add pasta to the boiling water (I use whole wheat penne rigate pasta).
* Use vegetable of your choice here. I have used kale before.
** Use wooden spoon.
