With just one can of Italian plum tomatoes, I halved the recipe and managed to get 2 portions of sauce for my boiboi's meal. For one portion, I chucked in diced potatoes and carrots, plus some chopped spinach. Pour the sauce over pasta and shave some parmesan cheese on top.
For the subsequent portion, I freeze the sauce for boiboi's dinner the next day. I boiled some carrot and potato strips to soften and cook them first before adding to the heated sauce. Top pasta with parmesan shaves.
Of course boiboi ate his dinner with gusto. The sauce is superb with a hint of butter taste and surprisingly good without any herbs added.
I still have a bit of sauce on hand, too little for another portion of pasta dinner. Hence, I slatter the sauce over a piece of toast. Next, layer with julienned carrots and cucumber before topping with some canned tuna salad. Voila, a quick and delicious lunch for the mummy!

ReplyDeletebah, humbug.... i've made lunch plans, or i'd go home right now and try to make...droooolllllllll. yar, i've been meaning to ask boolicious the name of the author. marcella is boy or girl ah?
ReplyDeletetummythoz, i think other brands also can. i've tried using fresh tomatoes and added some tomato paste, still can but the taste lacking a bit. have to add some sugar to balance the flavour.
ReplyDeletefbb, marcella is a woman. wow your mom so near to your opis one? so nice, like that can makan at home everyday haha
Babe,
ReplyDeleteI love this sauce too. And I love the book. I think of her as an auntie hahahaha you know with remarks like *DON'T COVER THE PAN* it will change the colour of the sauce.... and such an easy thing to just throw in together and leave on the stove to mind its own business kan kan?
