Pasta


This is very simple and tastes delicious.

The Sauce

2T Olive oil
1 Onion
1 Garlic glove
1 Tomato
1 Green onion
1/2 a lemon also use the lemon zest. (Grate the lemon only the pretty yellow stuff when you get down to the white........too bitter)
1 T Parmesan cheese or more if you like
2 T honey or sugar
a pinch Rosemary
a pinch Basil
a pinch Parsley



To make the sauce heat the frying pan, add olive oil and fry onions and garlic until golden brown. Chop tomatoes and add to mixture. Salt. Keep frying, add green onions if you have them. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon and add to mixture. That gives you the sour taste, now balance the taste with sweet, add some honey or sugar if you don't have honey. Taste...always taste..........add spices salt, pepper, rosemary, basil, parsley. Remember if you have the real things.........they are 100 percent better than packages or stuff in bottles as far as flavour goes. Let the mixture cook down or reduce as they say, so you don't have a lot of water, but all flavour.

For the pasta..........salt the water so it tastes like the ocean. Add pasta and cook. Drain, and pour sauce over top. Top with Parmesan cheese.
