Penne Pasta Sauce

Little Miss went out to the garden and brought in a bowl full of ripe tomatoes. What's for dinner? Another Ruby original

Ruby's Pasta Sauce

Dump the following into a blender and chop until slightly chunky:

5 tomatoes
a bunch (about 6 leaves) basil


In a pan saute

2 garlic cloves in
3 T olive oil


After you have sauteed the garlic for about 2 minutes add to the pan:

the tomato puree
1 T brown sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp salt
6 oz tomato paste


now let this simmer for 20 minutes on low. Serve over 1 1lb Penne pasta. Garnish with basil and fresh Parmesan or mozzarella.

  1. great blog. the bread was so good! I never thought of blending the tomatoes. My husband "complains" that the tomatoes are too chunky, I'll have to try it your way.
