Pasta Pomodoro

Pasta Pomodoro
I found this recipe in a magazine when I was at a doctor appointment a couple years ago. We love it, it's super easy but Marc thinks it tastes a lot better than bottled spaghetti sauce. He sprinkles sunflower seeds or pine nuts on the top.

2 T. olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (15 oz.) can crushed tomatoes

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. (or less) of pepper

oregano 

Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden brown, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. I will mash some of the tomatoes with a potato masher because I use the canned diced tomatoes from Costco. Add salt, pepper, and sprinkle dried oregano. Serve over pasta. 

Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes!

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

3 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth

2-4 cloves garlic, minced

3 T. olive oil

pepper to taste

1/2 tsp -1 tsp. salt

In a large pot, boil potatoes until they can easily be pierced by a fork. Drain and rinse the potatoes. Mash the potatoes and add everything. I usually use a little bit less than a cup of broth to get the desired consistency.
