Pasta Sauce

Recommended Posts

Posted

We had another record breaking hot day here so I took advantage and did some garden work. Cleaned up 80% of the tomatoes and decided to make a Bon Appetit recipe for pasta sauce with a few changes.

I can't believe this fish hater actually went out and bought anchovies for this dish.;) Ready for the grill. All that white is butter and smashed garlic 12 cloves.

On the KK at about 400F for a few hours.

I did fish out the onion and carrot and will find another use for them. They were only there to add a little flavour.

You rocked that, gurl!!! An immersion blender would have made final work on those onions and carrots!

My hat's off to you for the anchovy addition! :salute:

12 cloves of garlic - pfft, just a beginning! Throw in some capers, olives, and red pepper flakes and you were on your way to a nice Puttanesca!

Thanks, Tony, I must say that sauce is full of rich flavour and it is quite thick. I only added the carrots for some sweetness but didn't want carrot flavour so never intended to leave them. I thought I'd be using an immersion blender on this sauce but it came out just fine. I'll have to dream up some use for those onions and carrots, right now they are in the fridge. I did add some cayenne pepper for a little heat. Maybe when I use it I'll add some capers and olives, thanks for the tips. :) I had a bumper crop of tomatoes for only having two plants and a late start.

The weather has been wonderfully warm, in fact record breaking but that will end soon. So today was clean up the tomatoes in the garden day which means more sauce, this time baked pizza sauce. Tomatoes, garlic, butter, olive oil roasted for about 6 hours at 350F.

At the end added some oregano and into each jar added a fresh basil leaf.

Then made some homemade pasta to try out the pasta sauce that was made on the KK. Tony, see those olives and there are capers in there too. :)
