Paulette's No Cook Spaghetti Sauce
This one is SO easy! Perfect for summer!
Chop up fresh ingredients -- Throw in whatever you want-- Amounts are up to you - Here are some of the things I have used in the past:
Tomatoes--- all different kinds if you have them
Celery
Sweet Red Peppers
Green Peppers
Onions - (I like red onions in this for the color)
Garlic
Fresh herbs are best if you have them - but I have used dried ingredients
Basil
Italian parsley
Italian seasoning (canned)
Minced onions and minced garlic - if you don't have a whole onion or garlic to include
Salt and pepper to taste
Serve over hot pasta! Yummy!
I love to sprinkle grated romano cheese on mine---Roger's likes hot peppers sprinkled over his.
