INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🍅 8 ripe tomatoes
    • 🧅 1/2 cup onion, chopped
    • 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
    • 🥕 1/4 cup carrot, thinly sliced or shredded
    • 🧄 2 teaspoons garlic, minced

  • Seasonings & Oils

    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • Pasta

    • 🍝 6 cups cooked pasta

STEPS

1

Wash your hands with soap and water.

2

Wash the ripe tomatoes. Cut out stem ends, chop into small pieces, and set aside in a large bowl.

3

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, carrot, and garlic. Stir-fry until tender, about three minutes.

4

Add seasonings (oregano, basil, black pepper) and tomatoes. Bring to a gentle boil.

5

Lower heat and simmer gently, uncovered, until tomatoes turn to a sauce, about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6

Serve the sauce over freshly cooked pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
