Mom’s Spaghetti

My kids FAVORITE meal that I make. Simple, healthy, leaves the house smelling like heaven!

12 Organic Vine Ripened Tomatoes

Celery- 4 stocks cut

Carrots- ½ a bag of baby carrots or 6 large carrots cut up

Red Onion

Garlic

Fresh Basil to taste

Fresh Oregano to taste

Salt & Pepper

Chili Flakes

Italian sausage links and ground (our preference but you can do either)

Jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Pasta (Gluten sensitive)

Instructions

Put all of the veggies in a pot with 2 cups of water and simmer for 2 hours adding water as needed. Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth.

Cook the italian sausage in the pot. Remove the meat and set aside and add diced red onion to the pot and let cook in the fat from the sausage. Add garlic and salt.

Add the sauce from the blender back to the pot and the meat that was set aside. Let simmer on low adding fresh basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bonus tip: Add ½ a bottle of chianti- you can use inexpensive cooking wine and it adds great flavor. I also like to add some balsamic vinegar to the sauce.

When ready to eat boil water and cook pasta for 11 minutes (at altitude) until pasta is al dente.

ENJOY! (serves 6 + and is great for leftovers)
