Okay, so I was up trying to learn how to add stuff to my blog which I never tried to do before and I had a thought. A long time ago, I promised to put poems, stuff about everyday life, and recipes on here and I have not added a recipe in a while or ever. I forget. So say you're hungry and you have barebones pantry stuff. But you have some kind of pasta and a can of tomato sauce. Plus you have either a can of whole tomatoes, stewed tomatoes or diced tomatoes. Or maybe you have fresh tomatoes. But the kicker is that you have no jarred tomato sauce like Ragu or Prego and you are hungry. Well get your water boiling cuz I'm going to teach you an easy peasy sauce for any kind of pasta when you don't have many groceries in the house.
Take the can of tomato sauce and put it in the blender (or food processor). Then add a can (and these are 15/16oz cans) of diced tomatoes or whole tomatoes, whatever. Then add some either fresh garlic or garlic power, fresh onion or onion powder, a little bit of sugar, salt, and pepper. This is all to taste. Then blend until there are no tomato lumps. Pour into a saucepan so you can cook the canned tomato taste out of it and pour about a half to three quarters can of water in the pan. Let it cook on med-hi while the pasta is cooking. Then by the time you have drained your pasta, you will have a very quick and not so bad sauce.
And hey, if you want to add basil or some other spice, go for it. It's about what's in your pantry. I usually have a little sauce leftover when I cook half a pound of spaghetti. It's cheaper than a jar of your favorite sauce too.
Questions, let me know.
Okay, this really is goodnight.

I definitely love some red sauce to go with my pasta! I'll have to try it out! My fiance and I used the bertolli tomato, basil, and garlic sauce that comes in the jar the other day. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone to doesnt feel like cooking much from scratch one night. It was delicious. So much better than the ragu stuff!
