Tonight we had spaghetti with green beans and toast. Just after Christmas a friend gave us a pasta maker that her parents were no longer using so I no longer have to make it by hand, which means we eat pasta more often (the dough is hard to roll out by hand, especially with whole wheat flour). To make the spaghetti sauce I just use a can of tomatoes and season it with things like basil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper... It is never the same but always good, especially with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top. The green beans were from last year's garden, we froze them so I just boiled them in salted water.

When I went to Italy this May I learned a really easy and very tasty tomato sauce recipe. Start with diced tomatoes (so when you are canning your own you can just chop, don't have to puree). Dump them in a pan with 3/4 tsp sugar, some oregano, salt, pepper and basil. Boil until most of the liquid is gone. Stir in 1/2 cup of cream. It is excellent and so easy.
