When Big Nana said this she meant
you were being sassy or feisty!
So this recipe is just that!
FRESH
It isn't complicated nor time consuming
but instead easy and quick.
While on a family vacation in San Diego the girls and I cooked up quite a few new recipes to share. The house we rented had a beautiful kitchen with the most amazing light from it's cute antique windows overlooking a quaint garden full of roses and visiting hummingbirds.
Instead of eating out we decided to stay in and take advantage of our special kitchen.
Below are just a few photos I took of the house and of course of my grown babies.

FRESH Organic Pasta Sauce
3 large organic tomatoes
1 small organic red onion
1 and 1/2 cups of organic mushrooms of your choice
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of red wine
sea salt and crushed pepper to taste
2 large cloves of garlic
Grab your favorite cutting board and your best knife. Chop up the onion into small but not fine pieces. Cut the mushrooms in quarters. Cut the tomatoes in half and then into quarters. Dice up the garlic as well. In your best saucepan add the olive oil and heat it up under a medium heat just until hot. Throw in the onion first. Sure the onion for a few minutes but stirring often so it doesn't turn brown or burn. Once the onions start to cook add the tomatoes and the mushrooms. Once the heat comes up again the tomatoes will start to break down and the mushrooms will soften. Continue to heat on medium heat covered for about 4 minutes.
Next add the garlic,wine, salt and pepper to the sauce, stir and cover. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes or until desired consistency. Serve it over your favorite pasta, garlic toast, and or grilled chicken. I like to serve it over rigatoni and garnish it with fresh basil and shaved parmesan. This is so FRESH and healthy. It is easy and fast!
Enjoy!
