Next on the menu: delicious homemade tomato sauce

Delicious Fresh Chunky Homemade Organic Garlic Tomato Sauce

First go to expendia.com and book a flight to Andhra Pradesh, India. (Tirupati or Hyderabad airports are good options)

[Hint: tuck a box of Mezze Penne pasta into your baggage]

Next, locate your local vegetable market and pick up some organic fresh tomatoes and garlic. Bartering is encouraged and advised (if you are white).

Next: THE SAUCE
6-7 Tomatoes (10 Rs per kg, or 0.20 USD)
8-10 pieces of Garlic (5 Rs per kg, or 0.10 USD)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp Jeera (cumin) seasoning
1 tsp Black pepper
Salt to taste

Chop up 6-7 tomatoes into fours and put in a pot on the stove over medium heat. Add about a tsp of oil to keep it from sticking. Allow tomatoes to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft and become nice and juicy!

Mince 8-10 pieces of garlic and add to the tomatoes.
Add sugar.
Add Jeera, black pepper, and salt for some extra flavor and simmer for a few minutes.

Make sure the tomatoes have cooked down until they are “saucy” but still have some chunkiness to them.

And you’re donzo.




Toss with some delicious mezze penne pasta sent from Seattle, WA of the USA and enjoy!
