Home made Pasta sauce:
If pasta sauce is not readily available do not worry you can always make fresh and delicious tomato sauce from scratch. Bring a pot of water to boil add 8 medium sized tomatoes and allow its skin to peel then remove the tomatoes with a spoon and them an ice cold water bath. Remove the skin and blend 6 tomatoes and chop the remaining 2 tomatoes into small pieces. Take a sauce pan add little olive oil, garlic, small cup of chopped onions, bell peppers and carrots to cook then add tomato puree and tomato pieces. Add pinch of sugar, salt and pepper according to your taste. You can also add two to three cloves and one bay leaf but do not forget to remove once the sauce is cooked. Now close the pan with a lid and allow it to cook well for about one hour. Let it cool down for sometime and add to your pasta. You can also store this sauce in freezer safe containers for couple of weeks.
Enjoy your dinner!
