a few weekends ago, we meandered down to the farmers market near our house and were so excited by the fresh produce that we bought things without much of a game plan.
i wish i could take credit for this recipe, but i can’t. this recipe is the spaghetti sauce i grew up eating – a standard, week night meal, and one of my favorite comfort foods.
about a year ago, i tried my hand at creating ratatouille, sans recipe, from a bunch of veggies my dad brought us from his garden. while i liked the creation, i couldn’t stop tinkering with it during this harvest season, thinking that if i started with a basic recipe and tweaked it i would be able to create THE BEST ratatouille ever. so when mike’s mom brought us a lovely bag of veggies from her garden a few weeks ago, i rolled up my sleeves and began working on a new version of ratatouille.
let me guess, your garden or your friends’ gardens are absolutely exploding with vegetables right now, huh? have you thought about grilling them?
a coworker kindly gave me an enormous zucchini from her garden a few weeks ago, and i spent a few days trying to decide what to do with all that zucchini…besides photograph it for posterity, that is.
