Quick Tomato Sauce
In this sauce; I utilize fresh garlic, tomato, herbs and lemon to bring it to life.
Sometimes the simple recipes taste just as amazing as the long versions.
This is one of those sometimes.
I am a lover of spicy and tart and this sauce delivers both. Adding fresh elements to a quick recipe, adds vibrancy. In this sauce; I utilize fresh garlic, tomato, herbs and lemon to bring it to life.
My favorite way to eat this sauce is over brown rice spaghetti – with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh cracked pepper. That’s it.
Petrice and I are extremely busy at the moment building our businesses and we rely on this sauce to get us through long nights at the computer. It’s become a part of our routine to have quick spaghetti.
This sauce is now the symbol of typing alongside my lover, helping each other meet deadlines and laying the foundation for our dreams.
So, hats off to you tomatoes – you make this household very happy.
