Spaghetti and Meatballs


"Do you need me to bring anything home?"


"No, just yourself."


About ten minutes later, I realized I should have checked around before saying I didn't need anything. We were out of pasta sauce and meatballs were on the menu. Oops.


I had can of crushed tomatoes in the cabinet. No paste. Not a lot of vegetables to choose from. Just the can of tomatoes. So I decided I would figure out how to make that one can taste like a good sauce. Garlic, olive oil, a beef cube, and a lot of time simmering led to what I decided was an all right sauce. LV seems to be allergic to oregano, so I used basil. If anything, it looked good--a chunky sauce instead of the usual Prego over steamed asparagus.
