Christina's Easy Pasta

I made this from scratch, and it was great…I’m not going to put ingredient amounts, because I only eye-balled it. Furthermore, use these ingredients only as a base…you can add anything else you may want to. As well, you may add a little cornstarch or tomato paste to thicken it to your liking as it was quite liquid-y.

garlic cloves

carrots

canned whole tomatoes with herbs

ground beef

pasta (I used elbow pasta, but just about anything would work)

seasonings

Procedure

Start browning beef. Peel carrots and cut into small pieces. Boil until cooked but not mushy. In a food processor or blender, process peeled garlic cloves with a little bit of oil until finely chopped. Add cooked carrots and process until they are finely chopped, but not pureed. Begin adding tomatoes from can one at a time, processing between each. At this time you can also add any additional seasonings. Pour tomato mixture into a small pot to warm. Add juice from can. Add sauce to beef once it has been browned and drained; heat until warmed through and all flavors have had a chance to meld. Serve over prepared pasta with fresh garlic bread and caesar salad.
