pasta sauces

[Guest guest]

Here's a pasta sauce I made up this week:

 

Two small eggplants, cubed

about 6 oz sliced mushrooms

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

italian herbs

 

Put everything in a pot and cook for an hour. You can also add a can of

cooked beans such as white kidney beans.

 

 

 

Here's one of my favorite pasta sauces, adapted from the one in Vegan

Planet, which is a cookbook I really like:

 

RED LENTIL PASTA SAUCE

3 T. olive oil

1 garlic clove minced

3/4 c. dried red lentils

2 carrots, thinly sliced

1 celery rib, diced

6 oz. tomato paste

salt, pepper

2 T. chopped Italian parsley

 

Saute the garlic in the oil. Add the lentils, carrots, celery, and

water to cover plus one inch. Bring to a boil, then cook on low heat

for 30 minutes. Add more water if necessary to prevent burning. Stir in

remaining ingredients and heat through.

Pasta is something else that I eat a fair amount of. Although I don't

yet make my own pasta, I do plan on getting the pasta maker attachment

for my mixer. I'd appreciate some recipes for marinara sauce, or

other sauces and seasonings for pasta.

Sarah, here is the recipe for spice Arrabiatta Sauce direct from the

Macaroni Grille!

 

 

ARRABBIATA SAUCE:

30 oz tomato sauce

1 1/2 oz red pepper flakes

sprinkle salt/pepper

 

That is all there is to it. You can have this over Penne Pasta and, if you

like, add some vegetarian sausage (spicy Italian), red and green sliced and

sauteed Bell peppers and onions. I have not made this sauce myself since I

live so close to the Macaroni Grille and love going there, but I understand

you can't tell the difference.
