five minute sauce

[flaviomatani]

Quiet Sunday, after my two lessons including the most challenging one of the week. Dinner was rice and some veggie meatballs that had been languishing in the freezer, in sauce a la flavio (mostly the rest of that passata jar that had been sitting in the fridge for days, on a soffritto of garlic (chopped frozen garlic from Waitrose because I'm so lazy), a bit of onion that happened to be around, whatever dried herbs there were in the kitchen but mostly oregano, a bit of pepper and a few leaves borrowed from Basil the basil plant, who has amazingly survived some four years sitting at my room window. That wasn't his intended fate, as he was just a 99p basil plant from Tesco's -they normally die within a couple of weeks. All this unlikely mix worked.
