Pasta Sauce

I like to make my own pasta sauce by cooking down cherry tomatoes. It is good, but a little bitter. Over Christmas I asked my dad how he makes his sauce. He recommended adding tomato paste to thicken it and sugar to cut the bitterness.

I decided to work on my sauce tonight. I tried adding some more vegetables. That was good. I wanted to try the tomato paste, but the co-op didn't have any. And I don't tend to have sugar in the house because I don't use it for anything. But, I do have honey because I put honey in tea.

Honey in pasta sauce makes it not at all bitter and kind of delicious!

Brilliant! I've been telling Tony that the next thing I want to experiment with is spaghetti sauce, so I'll have to also give this a try.
