Ah Monday… of the second week of class… so much to do… I came home needing something warm, comforting and filling…
Inspired by Smitten Kitchen and Use Real Butter…I looked in the pantry and came up with my own quick tomato sauce… served over tortellini… it was pretty delicious! Now… back to work!
My Quick Tomato Sauce
1 garlic clove, sliced
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 tomato, chopped
1 cup tomato sauce, canned
1/2 cup water
1 Tbs butter
1 Tbs olive oil
1 tea Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper
1. Put butter and olive oil in a sauce pan, saute the garlic and onions.
2. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce and water.
3. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper (Go light on the salt as the sauce may already have some).
4. Simmer for 20 minutes until it thickens.
