I think organic canned tomatoes that don't have any added ingredients (such onions or garlic) should be fine!
Here is the recipe for that oven-roasted tomato sauce:
- 8 large beefsteak, OR 15 plum or roma tomatoes
- olive oil (tomatoes will burn without it - just use as little as possible)
- 1 tbs EACH of dried oregano and basil (if you can tolerate)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Place oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 400 F. Slice tomatoes in half and place in a very large bowl. Drizzle with oil and and sprinkle with seasonings. Toss to evenly coat. Tumble onto two large, rimmed baking sheets. Roast, uncovered, in top and bottom thirds of oven, stirring occasionlay to prevent burning, until tomatoes are very soft, 30-40 minutes. Switch position of baking sheets halfway through roasting. Scrape mixture from baking sheet ino a food processor or strong blender. Whirl until no large chunks remain. Repeat with the remaining sheet. Sauce will keep covered and refridgerated up to three days, or freeze up to three months. When using, season as desired!
As for a pasta dish without tomato sauce, I came across this Vegetable Lo Mein:
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta (or any pasta, really!)
- 3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (if you can't do soy sauce, perhaps you could just add more broth and season with ground ginger or something!)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 3/4 cups chopped celery
- 1 3/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 3/4 cups sliced carrots
- (the recipe also called for 2 cups of bean sprouts, you can add or omit at your discretion!)
Cook pasta until done, and steam vegetables until done. Whisk together broth, soy sauce, and cornstarch in large saucepan, and heat until it just starts to thicken. Add pasta and vegetables and stir well to combine. Makes app. 4 servings.
