How do you make..

It is interesting how we all read the questions differently. I felt you were looking for a basic idea that you could use quickly and modify as needed. So here is the start of a basic tomato sauce for pasta. You can add hamburger, sauteed mushrooms, onions, whatever you like in a tomato sauce. I have even added hominy and cheese which I love.

I like to start with cans of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatos. you can add a package or two of spaghetti sauce mix if you like or add italian herbs, garlic, onion, then salt and pepper to taste. I like to put in a little olive oil and a splash of red or white wine depending on what I have. From here you can add the extras. I will often brown mushroom, diced onions and a pound of beef together drain off the fat and add to the sauce. Top that off with some sliced olives then serve over spaghetti or egg noodles. Very good with garlic bread, a vegetable like green beans or corn, then a salad. Bingo a family favorite.

Also if you like pasta and are always in a hurry Knorr makes some very yummy sauce mixes for different kind of pastas. My kids love tortellini’s with the four cheese or tomato roma sauce. I personally like the pesto with rigatoni cold but then thats me. Hope this helps. :)
