Vegetable Pasta Sauce Recipe

Vegetable Pasta Sauce

 

This is such a simple, yet delicious recipe anyone can make.
Weather you’re looking for a regular meaty Pasta Recipe (just add meat), or you are looking for a Vegetarian Pasta Sauce Recipe;

This recipe will make your tummy happy…

Marinara

Basically for this you can use almost any veggies you already have…

These are my most common used ingredients:
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 large garlic, clove (or 2 small ones)
  • 1 small eggplant
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/2 green pepper
  • 1/2 red pepper (any color is fine)
  • 1 bottle of tomato sauce ( 24 oz)
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 3 Tbsp of Italian seasoning
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

 

Marinara3

Directions 
  • In a food processor blend the onion, garlic, peppers and eggplant until finely chopped. Shred the carrots.  Heat a large pot and add 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Then add all the vegetables. Saute for a good 5 or 8 minutes, or until buy xanax online australia they are soft. Next add the diced tomato. On medium heat, allow the tomato to break down and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • All the vegetables should have turned into a “big mushy” type of consistency. Now pour the tomato sauce and half of that of hot water. This part really is more of a personal taste. Some folks like their tomato sauce a little more saucy than others.
  • Season with salt and pepper and lower the heat. Let it simmer for 40 minutes, stirring every 8 minutes or so.
  • Check your seasoning. If you added more water you may need to add an extra Tbsp of Italian seasoning or even salt.  Once it’s done cooking, you may want to add the Parmesan cheese at this point. Stir again.
  • Serve over hot noodles and garnish with shredded basil leaves.
  • Enjoy!

Celebrating Day of the Child with Herdez!

Celebrating Day of the Child with Herdez!

20150502_000410_HDR[1]

Ever since I can remember, my Grandma “Ma’Maria” always celebrated “Dia de los Niños” in English it’s known as “Day of the Child/Children”. She would make us our favorite treat for lunch, which was fresh made tortillas and refried beans, she would give us small presents and then she would take us out to the “Children’s day” celebrations around town.  There always was a large grocery store that would give kids baby chicks as a gift.  It was always our favorite thing to do. When the day was done and we would get home, Ma’Maria would cook our favorite dinner: “Pollo en mole poblano”.   Ma’Maria always knew how to make us feel special. This is why I am happy to be able to share with you how we are Celebrating Day of the Child with Herdez!

Growing up with my Mother, we never celebrated it, and I always said that when I had my own kids; I would never miss a single “Dia de los Niños”.  A funny and purely coincidental thing:
My husband and I got married on April 30…
On “Dia de los Niños”. [Read more…]

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
