Zucchini & Tomato Pasta Sauce









From my freezer this week I pulled out a bag of frozen zucchini spears and a bag of frozen tomatoes to make a sauce for pasta.  I sauteed an onion first then added the frozen items. 

 

Once they were cooked down I added a piece of my frozen chopped basil (not pictured), a teaspoon of sugar, salt and pepper.  Using the stick blender I pureed the whole thingand served it over angel hair pasta and meatballs.  It was delicious.

GPOD

Know what GPOD is?  Garden Photo of the Day sponsored by Fine Gardening magazine.

A long time ago they requested that readers send in photos to be included so I did.  I heard nothing until I got an email from Michelle last week that they planned to feature my garden today!  Yes, my photos are there!  Here's the Link and please comment there, too. 

Garden Photo of the Day

One of my goals in gardening was to be featured in a magazine.  I don't think I'll get the print spread I was hoping for so I'll take this recognition as meeting that goal.  After all it probably reaches more people than the magazine would anyway.
