Today, I was going to post about our trip to the lake on the weekend, but I haven’t had a chance to download my pictures from my camera yet.

Instead, I’m going to share with you a little recipe…

15-minute Garden Fresh Pasta Sauce

This came from one of my fave gardening shows, and added a few things last night when I made it for Dave. (I don’t eat pasta… or tomatoes)

Ingredients

• Pile of tomatoes (I used my Yellow Pear Tomatoes)
• One small shallot
• Cloves of Garlic (measure with your heart)
• Fresh herbs from the garden – I used thyme, oregano and parsley
• A glug of olive oil
• A knob of butter

Chop all your veggies and herbs fairly finely and throw in a frying pan (you can use a pot too – whatever works). Throw in oil and butter. Simmer on medium high heat until everything is cooked and sauce-like…

Toss it on top of some freshly cooked pasta and enjoy!

(Dave likes hamburger on his pasta so I fried some of that up too and put it on but that’s totally optional). He declared it was “Good” and when I asked it I could make it again he said “Yeah.” So in Dave speak – that means it was really, really good.

It certainly smelled amazing! And I took great satisfaction that all the veggies and herbs came directly from my garden. Even if it’s not something I’d ever eat!
