Chicken and Eggplant Tomato Sauce Pasta Chicken and Eggplant Tomato Sauce Pasta
There are so many tomato sauce recipes, but I just couldn't find the one for me, so I've been making this with trial and error.Add the honey (or oligosaccharide sweetener) while tasting. If you cook the pasta just right, the residual heat of the pasta will warm up the sauce. It's a bit of a reduced sauce, so if using regular pasta, add more tomatoes.

Veggie Stew with just Carrots & Peas in Tomato Sauce Veggie Stew with just Carrots & Peas in Tomato Sauce
Hello everyone…hoping the weekend was a good one. It’s Monday, the beginning of a new week and hopefully a good one for everybody. This weekend was quite warm. sunny and just lovely to be outside. When I mean outside I just sat in the garden and caught up on some reading material on food blogging of course, and some other things that I needed to catch up on. I did a bit of gardening 🙂 and I just wanted to thank Luda from Plants and Beyond, for her advise in regards to adding coffee grinds into my small garden it was spot on! 🙂 All my herbs and salads flourished these past weeks, and we were able to have home grown lettuce in our salads!! hooraayyyy 🙂 Just fantastic!! I also planted Broccoli, this has become huge I am not sure if my little garden will be able to hold it. 🙂This is a Greek dish…with ingredients that I am hoping would exist in everyones fridge. I know that Carrots and Peas may not be the first choice for lunch or dinner, but if you add tomatoes and a bit of tomato paste well I am sure you will be going back for more. 🙂 It is truly a very simple recipe just a few steps and you’ve got a delicious and healthy meal for lunch or dinner or even a side dish.. 🙂 Foodzesty -
Italian Chicken in Tomato Sauce Italian Chicken in Tomato Sauce
I was inspired by a chicken dish that I ate at an Italian restaurant to make this recipe.Simmer longer to make the chicken softer and the onions creamier. Please shorten the simmering time if you prefer your onions to retain their shape.Add more sugar and ketchup into the sauce if you like it sweeter.I usually leave some sauce for the following day to enjoy some pasta for lunch.
