Hearty Red Sauce
Red sauce is such a pretty word.
Well ok, 2 words.
Add Hearty, and you can feel your tummy filling up with goodness.
I start with a combination of ground beef and ground turkey.
Add some chopped fresh garlic.
Brown it up,
add Italian seasoning,
basil pesto (yum, yum),
diced tomatoes,
tomato paste,
and, my favorite, chicken soup/broth base mixed into water. Let it simmer, burble, steam.
Pour it over your favorite pasta, top with Parmesan, add a veggie on the side,
and there you have it.
A very healthy, hearty, warm, tummy filling, stick-to-your ribs kinda meal on these cold winter days.
Oh wait, it isn't winter yet.
Any day you eat it,
is it every good.
Happy Saturday.
