I always envied people who could successfully grow their own vegetables, fruits or anything at all. My friend, Rene, is incredibly talented in that department, and was kind to stop by my house this week to bring a basket full of beautiful home grown tomatoes and peppers. Thank you, Rene! These tomatoes were put to delicious use.
With a basket full of fresh tomatoes, and Fall upon us, making a homemade spaghetti dish was inevitable, and we were in for a culinary treat when this meal was ready.
The first thing you want to do it chop the tomatoes as seen in this photo:
It is very much up to you to add what you like to your sauce. For this one I chose to add some sweet red peppers, mushroom, and chicken sausage.
Sauté chopped garlic in a little olive oil and add the sliced peppers. Once the peppers are a little soft, add the chopped tomatoes, cover and cook, stirring occasionally.
At this point you may add the spices you like. I added salt, pepper, paprika, chicken bullion, and oregano.
Note that you may use more than one kind of tomato, to make the sauce richer. Also, I did not need to add any water to this sauce since the tomatoes provided all the fluids necessary.
You will need to cook the sauce for a while, until the tomatoes are soft. Add the mushrooms and sliced chicken sausage, and cook approximately 30 minutes, stirring once in a while.
You can then pour this aromatic sauce over your cooked spaghetti. It will make a delicious and memorable meal that is comforting and relaxing after a long day.
Enjoy with a glass of red wine and good music!
