copy2: Getting Saucy, Going Nutty :)

No, no – don’t get me wrong - I am still the sweet person you know and if you look closer you will see that halo (lol)

Be it pizza or pasta, it’s all about the sauces. I had yellow tomatoes, and red tomatoes ripening on the vine and there were finally enough for a few good sassy, nutty sauces – These ones were purely inspirational like when you stand at the door of an empty room (or a cluttered one) and you get these bulbs flashing brightly ––fresh chilies, fresh chives, fresh herbs, fresh tomatoes, fresh plums (store bought) I am in heaven yo!

Got my thoughts together and knew exactly what to club with what & shazam! I was on my way to making 4 sauces; two with yellow tomatoes, one with red, and an exotic pesto with cilantro. Really simple, quick, recipes that you can throw together in under 30 -45 minutes – that is like the icing on the cake, if you will.

With the sauces, I made the a variety of pizzas & a pasta. The toppings were also pretty exotic – my patty pan male flowers, paneer, spinach, and of course the usual suspects – bell pepper, onions and shrooms.

Without further ado, I present my sauces and the dishes I prepared with them

There are some pizza pictorials to feast your eyes on J
