Simple Pasta Sauce

by Yvonne Cariere

Ingredients
2-3 servings

1 jar of tomato sauce
2 chopped red bell peppers
1 small zucchini in quarters
250grams of mushrooms

1-2 chopped onions
3 sliced garlic toes
200 grams of cherry tomatoes
2 heaped tablespoons of Italian herbs (no salt)
500 grams of good quality minced meat (best you can afford without breaking budget)

Bake the onions in olive oil with one tablespoon of the herbs. Add the garlic, then mushrooms. When these are starting to smell, add the bell peppers and the zucchini. As last add the tomatoes, sliced. Add the tomato sauce, and a tiny bit (150ml) of water.
In other pan with a tiny bit of olive oil, start cooking the minced meat. Add a tablespoon of Italian herbs. When it is done, add to the sauce/veggie mix.
Let the sauce shimmer with a lid for at least half an hour and then puree.
Good for any type of pasta. Great for picky kids. You can add in other veggies to taste.
Makes about 2-3 servings (depending on family size and big/small eaters) and a small serving for on pizza's.

The second deal is the Bluesim 7.5 Inch Professional Chef's Knife.  My husband and I discovered this week that a good sharp knife makes working in the kitchen so much easier.  Our knives are all fairly dull so this week I finally pulled out a boxed k...
