When life throws tomatoes at you... 
Make 

Fresh Spagetti Sauce

Lots of tomatoes (4 pounds or more)
Dried basil- to taste
Oregano- to taste
Garlic powder- To taste
Salt and pepper- To taste
1 tab sugar
At the end I like to add fresh basil and 1/4 cup or more of parmesan cheese.

Wash tomatoes and cut into chunks and put them into a dutch oven (Large pot). Add all the spices and put heat to med low or med and start cooking. Simmer for a couple of hours till the tomatoes have cooked down and are soft. Then use your emulsion blender or CAREFULLY transfer to a food processor and blend to desired consistency. 
Ummmm That's it.
You can add meat if you want or add roasted veggies for meatless dishes.
NOT FROM A JAR tastes amazing and YOU know whats in it.


1) Add fresh chopped tomatoes to a large pot.

2) Add your spices and cook on med low for a couple hours

3) The tomatoes will cook down into a beautiful broth and look like that. Either leave it like that or...

4) Use your emulsion blender and make it thicker

 5) Its ready. You can add browned meat at this point or roasted vegetables and serve over pasta.

6) Or freeze for another time.
