Vegetable pasta sauce - chunky, wholesome, homemade
What I like about making my own pasta sauce - I get to choose what goes into it, including amount of sodium! (less)...and including amount of beer!(more!) Remember, I've done that "booze-d" sauce? Gosh, I have taken such a long hiatus from Sweetnicks - ARF/5 a day. Glad to be back after October'07 post on seafood cabbage rolls.
For this homemade chunky vegetable pasta sauce, I get to bite on real chunky vegetables. Homemade pasta sauce is really easy (ok, I know Trader Joes has got irresistable $1.99 Traditional Marinara Sauce). Hmmph...its more of a choice and not about the price.
Chunky Vegetable Pasta Sauce
Ingredients: Sliced celery, sliced carrots, sliced onions, minced garlic, celery leaves chopped finely, dried oregano, dried basil, canned whole tomatoes, salt and pepper, chili pepper flakes
Directions: Heat some olive oil, add onions to saute. Then add celery and carrots and fry lightly. Add tomatoes and crush/mash them in the pan. Add some stock or water and allow sauce mixture to simmer. Salt and pepper to taste. Add celery leaves then finally, the dried herbs. A bit of chili pepper flakes if you like it a bit spicy.
This homemade sauce matches well with ground beef or seafood, your preference.
The sauce can also be prepared in excess and stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Need I say more? Look at the bright vivid colors, and wholesome ingredients - get ready!

Making my own sauce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen. It's different each time I make it, and it's always delicious.
This pasta sauce sounds really good. It has lots of vegetables and prawns. But, where did the beer go? I don't see in tin the ingredients or the directions? :)
I really like this idea.... using tons of veggies I wouldn't have considered (like carrots) in a homemade pasta sauce.
so healthy and delicious. I really like the sound of this homemade sauce.
Nice, healthy & all the more tasty Tiger... Love this deep red sauce...
Your sauce is packed with goodies! =D Didn't know can add beer to pasta sauce, I will try that next time if I have beer to spare ;) Yep, homemade is definitely better, I have friends who make the tomato paste from scratch using roma tomatoes, but I am soooo lazy, heh.
