Tasty Tuesday

I think I will do a Tasty Tuesday Post every week!  So here is the 1^st Tasty Tuesday!!!

Every week I make a batch of homemade Spaghetti Sauce so I thought I would share the recipe.  It is super yummy, super easy & good for you!

1 – Large White Onion, diced

2 – Zucchini, diced (Or you could use any veggie you like.  I have used Carrots before.)

3 – Cloves of Garlic

About a table spoon of Olive Oil

¼ Cup Balsamic Vinegar 

2 – 15 oz. Cans Tomato Sauce (I just use the store brand)

1 – 15 oz. Can Petite Diced Tomatoes

1 – 15 oz. Can Crushed tomatoes

2 Tablespoons Dried Oregano

2 Tablespoons Dried Basil

A pinch of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Salt & Pepper to taste

1.    Chopped your onion, zucchini & garlic.  Heat your oil on a medium heat in a fairly big stock pot.  Drop you onion & zucchini in the oil let it soften (about 5 to 10 minutes).  Add your garlic.

2.    When you can smell your garlic add in balsamic vinegar.  Let that simmer until the vinegar starts to thicken a little.

3.    Next, add all your canned tomatoes.  Then, add all you seasonings.  Add the salt & pepper at the very end so you taste it to see how much is needed.  Let everything simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes.  Then turn off the heat & let it cool.  Or you can use it right then.  I make it on Sunday & week use it during the week sometime.

Finshed Product!

We like using Rigatoni Pasta with this spaghetti sauce.  We normally go with Chicken in it or nothing at all!!  The Balsamic Vinegar gives the sauce a great flavor!!  I am posting a picture of the finished product.  This was made with no zucchini (I forgot to buy it) & Chicken!!!

Until next time,
